Last weekend we went back to Swan Hill for a farewell dinner for Sarah before she heads to Canada for 12 months. First I caught a couple of likely looking lads at Sarah's party, looking oh so happy with the whole concept!
I decided to take a wander around my home town and see some of the things the tourists see.
Mmmmm..... Imagine a 30 foot butt!
The tree that legend says the explorers Burk and Wills either camped under or planted when exploring Australia's vast interior.A fallen giant by the river. Australian eucalypt trees tend to drop large branches in dry weather. The theory is that by so doing there is less tree for the root system to sustain. Most years there are injuries with people camping under trees only to have a branch crash down on top of their tent in the middle of the night!
The bridge at Swan Hill and a river level falling fast. Some predictions say the river will be dry by the end of the year if the dry continues.
Here is the skate park the young people of Swan Hill spent many years fundraising for (ours included). Unfortunately it has been placed behind an industrial area and a long way from supervision.

Yeah, they dont look to happy.
It's so sad to see the river so low. I remember when the levy bank had to be built up so our house didn't get flooded!
The good news is it has been raining for two days now. Also good for our garden while I am away.
I think it's a great photo that captured our mood perfectly, his girlfriend, my daughter is leaving for 12 months, we also went shooting, we had to take it out on something, poor little rabbits.
Man, that tree brings back some memories, hahaha.
