Ethan's photo's

Ethan got a new phone from Santa....he has been taking a heap of photos along the way...some of them are really good (well it might be mummy talking here)....

Garlic bread at Charlie's Pub Narrandera. 

Railway tracks at Narrandera.

Probably my favourite a train on the tracks at Narrandera.

Bridge across the Murray River along the way.

Salt lake.

Wetlands at Pinaroo.

Paddle steamer at Murray Bridge.

Murray River at Murray Bridge.

Mill at sunset at Murray Bridge...just after our run...

Along the levy bank....where we ran, can you tell I'm happy about that run....hell yes...

Murray Bridge

Narrandera to Murray Bridge was our longest day  over 700 kilometres....we got here and of course headed out to find a gym for Ethan...nothing open as it was a public holiday we went down to the Murray River to take a look around...found some interesting stuff sent Dan a pic, and then had to come back to the motel to pick him up....Dinner was at Fasta Pasta...yep with a name like that we should have moved on...it was pretty ordinary...Ethan and I walked the bridge both ways...got back to the motel which is really nice but looks like the Jetson's could have lived here..something out of the 70's....decided to go for a run along the levy....and yes I went as well, just the two of us with a heard of cows that were pretty interested in joining us, some grumpy geese which I was pretty worried about...our neighbour used to have them until they became Christmas dinner...and all the other river birds...it runs along the side of the  Murray River pretty nice to run if only I wasn't so intent on gasping for breath it would have been beautiful...but the best news is I ran it all, 2.3 klms in a not bad time for someone that hasn't run for 5 months....

You probably can't see this that well but they have knitted the posts of all the signs.

Trisha I expect this on all of our posts next Christmas.

Quarantine station on the border from Vic to SA

Ah yes the Sunken Alfred, one for Dad.

These things were massive, probably cost as much as a house..well maybe not a Sydney house.

The Murray Bridge.

Koala pic and Dan's way of turning around...

Photo evidence of what happens when you try to turn around in a puddle....

You can never have too many koala photo's can you....

Straight in he went....

It's good to check after the event how deep it is...

Yep, that's how you do it....

A grand design home

This place was being built and I can only assume it's a home...it was looking amazing and it would be a dream home to build...it was being build on the old brewery site, not sure what they are going to do with the ruin but it all looks amazing...the river runs along the front of it....

Can you see the bird in this stump...it's out the front of the wetlands. 

New meets old...

Think I could even move to the country to live in this...

Narrandera again...

Whenever we have done a driving holiday Greg is the main driver this time it is so different...We have all had a go with Dan doing probably the most of it...Ethan usually does the last 100 kilometres he is speed limited to 90 km/h so you do see a lot of things that you normally wouldn't...like road signs and where the lines on the road need painting...all the good stuff....Ethan was driving Dan and I in the back and Dan says have you ever had you life flash before your eyes...look behind you...there was a Collins B double screaming down behind us and  we thought we were going to end up on his grill....Ethan doing 90 and slowing down at a alarming rate and this guy hammering it.....all ended well as he overtook us he did the thank you indicator think we could have done without the first part though....welcome to Australia...

Cicada tree, there were shells everywhere, all over the ground....crunch, crunch, crunch... 

Bike racks in the main street...

Ethan's best buddy overtaking him....Dan and I needing a therapist...

Tiger Moth.

Wagga Wagga

I've been having trouble loading the photos onto the blog, am going to try and do it a different way to see if this works...Sorry they are out of order but hopefully this will sort it out now....my tech help desk boy is sound asleep...typical....

RAAF Plane at Wagga Wagga

Even though it said now open it wasn't and it still had the Winter trading hours sign on the gate...

Frilled neck lizard made out of scrap.

More of his welded art...I would have put all of it on a truck and sent it home...

So much detail and work went into all of these pieces but the houses were amazing...

Kangaroo Island here we come...

Started off this morning on the annual pilgrimage called our Christmas holidays...we decided that Kangaroo Island was the place to be in 2015/16...

Because Greg is in a boot, Dan and I did most of the driving with Ethan driving the last 100 kilometres from Wagga Wagga to Narrandera...didn't think much of Wagga but Narrandera is a gorgeous clean country town...had a nice meal at the pub which was lucky as there was nothing much open...

Went looking for the koala's Ethan spotted one that was pretty close to the bottom of the tree, the one I spotted was like a blob on the branch...I'm having trouble getting the photos on here but after the koala spotting we decided to go and look for some more and Dan turned the car around right into a massive hole...took awhile to get out with Greg, Ethan and I having to push as Dan floored it....

Massive day tomorrow with around 800 kilometres to drive to get to Murray Bridge...

The Star Hotel...

Narrandera Railway Station.

What a cutie, this is the one that Ethan spotted....

Love how you drive home from the golf club.....legal much?
