Our pre retirement trial trip- day 52
122 km Charlton to Koondrook Vic
The aim today was to settle ourselves back on the mighty Murray for a few days. Job done ✔️
As we were leaving our camp at Charlton we had an unexpected visit from the Overland train, we didn’t realise the track next to the site was active but now we know it is 🚂
With the weather over the next couple of days looking the same across the state (18-20 and overcast/windy) ☁️💨☁️ we decided to head somewhere we could run 🏃🏼 cycle 🚴🏻 and fish 🎣 (or at least try to 😜)
So we headed NE to the border with NSW and settled ourselves on the banks of the Murray River in Koondrook.
Once we had set up camp we jumped on our bikes 🚴🏻🚴🏻♀️ and headed onto the trails of the Gumbower Forest. We found the start of the Koondrook Red Gum Forest Walks so set off to complete the eagle loop- was not expecting the trail to be flooded and having to cycle through the water whilst trying to find and keep to the path 😳
After the ride we popped into the Mates Royal Hotel for a quick drink and what a lovely place it is with its vine covered outdoor area.Baca lagi
