Day 7: Barooga to Moama


We left the kangaroo camp with Robbo supposedly leading the team but once again he wanted to go to McDonalds to buy his lunch. The team ended up splitting and leaving at different times.

It was quite windy out on the road and they all helped each other out. The first drama for the day was a gathering at Katunga waiting for reassurance re-directions. Robbo was behind so Roger was asked if he would hang back and ride with him.


Morning tea was at the 40 km mark at a farmers gate. Lunch was at Barmah in the town. Scenery was mostly dairy farms, irrigation channels and then around Barmah we went through River Gum forests with glimpses of the Murray from time to time.

Arrived at Moama around 2.30 pm. No-one ventured into the pool for a swim as it was a bit chilly but there were a few kids in the water. Our camping ground tonight was a far cry from last night with just 2 camp sites and one with a cement slab. We had booked these sites late last year and it was already booked up because of the Labour Day weekend.

The majority of us decided to walk next door to the RSL for dinner and we wee e not disappointed because the meals were enormous and tastey. The Sydney boys stayed at camp and cooked themselves some great meals. We all retired early but disturbed by some caravaners who decided to drink and chat till 1.30 am. I didn't hear them until Collis got up for a wee and then announced how disgusting it was and woke the camp so we all stayed there listening to them.
