Day 9: Barham- rest day.


We were all going to sleep in today but the kookaburras and galahs had another idea. The kookaburras were first with a very loud chorus around 6 am followed by millions of galahs & corellas waking and arguing over whose branch was whose before flying off for the day to annoy some poor farmer and his crop.


Everybody got in early with their washing before heading off, mostly on foot, to explore the town and the walk along the river over in Koondrook. Lots of coffee and bakery stops throughout the day and a few riders decided to do the river cruise in the afternoon. The cruise was a bit noisy and apparently the commentator was a little opinionated otherwise a pleasant afternoon.

A few of us went to the servicemen's club for dinner and the others stayed in camp and cooked their own dinners. Live music in the bistro at the club. The mosquitoes drove us all into bed early tonight.
