Day 110. Robinvale to Bridgewater. 29/08/2015

Very cold morning as we farewelled our fellow traveller Ted and Daisy. The sun was weakly trying to appear but the temperature stayed quite low for most of the journey to Bridgewater. The scenery was very uninteresting and in particular we thought Kerang was very poor quality land with not much going for it. However, as we moved further on the landscape changed considerably and we began to see some lovely farming land with crops and sheep and cattle properties and even some dairy cattle which we have not previously seen. The crops are not advanced as we had seen in W.A. and S.A. but the cooler weather would made quite a difference in their development. 

We arrived in Bridgewater about 3 p.m. We were very impressed with the park. It is a council park that has been completely rebuilt after being flooded in 2011 and is situated right on the Loddon River. The river attracts large numbers of speed boats and water skiers and the facilities are excellent. Apparently the skiers come from all around the world to hone their skills each year before our Moomba Masters.
After setting up we had a visit from our friends Pam and David Payne who have made Bridgewater their home for the past 15 years. We later joined them for dinner at the local Bridgewater Pub and although it was a freezing night we enjoyed their company, the meal and the warmth of the cosy fire in the dining room.

Back at camp we watched the last half of the football before adding an extra blanket on the bed and retiring.
Last sleep in Calinda tonight. She has been amazing, always enveloping us incredible comfort, never letting us down and taking care of our every need. She is a little grotty at the moment, but as soon as we get home we will have her sparkling once again.
Home tomorrow.

Dinner with old friends David and Pam Payne.
