    We’re going on a bear hunt…..
    …… for koalas 🐨
    Koalas were introduced to Narrandera Nature Reserve, from French Island VIC and areas of NSW and QLD in 1972-1974, and it’s now home to more than 200 - surely we will see one

    We jumped on the bikes for a loop of the wetlands, then followed the canal to the Flora and Fauna reserve where the trails took us along the Murrumbidgee River and past 1st and 2nd beach to the Murrumbidgee Valley Nature Reserve where we saw a Koala 🐨 - just the one.
    We looped back along the Bundidgerry Creek and Lake Talbot, detouring into town to the Bakery, then returning home via the Skywalk over the lake.

    In the evening we went to our first country rodeo 🐎 🐂
    Narrandera Rodeo is to one of the longest running successful professional rodeos in NSW and has some of the best roughriders, buckjumpers and bulls
    It was such a fun event and the skill of the riders was amazing.
    And we had a VERY close encounter with a bucking horse 🐎
