Day out yesterday........

[Kobione]

We have had the weirdest weather this week - almost 50 ml of rain over wed/thurs so we couldn't do much at home. Doggies were bored and so were we! Decided to take a trip out in the car and we headed to a nice river town called Echuca. Weather was not the best and this is pretty much what we got, on and off:

Did manage, between heavy showers, to get a couple of one of the most well known steam paddle boats that are a huge tourist attraction at Echuca. This is the Emmylou, named after the country singer Emmylou Harris, and you can do hour long river trips, or even overnight river cruises on her:

Heading back in to the port area;

We did manage to get to our favourite place up there for our lunch:

Wonder why it's called 'It Takes Two' - yes it does to eat it all!!:

Nice one.  That boat oozes character.

I love the paddle steamer. I didn't know it rained in Australia!

Thanks Kev, Mond & Geoff - could have got more better pictures if the weather had settled!

Mond this is one of two most well known paddle steamers, the other one is called The Pevensey, and on a decent day they make good photo subjects. As for the rain - we live on a rural property and rely solely on our water tanks, and guess what - they are all full after that rain. Good way to head into our Summer.

Just spotted these!

A interesting set as always - For me, shots 2 and 3 are the stars of the show. Two completely differing images that work brilliantly.
