Wish I could join you again Marj. I had a few days at Rutherglen last week, took a friend who had not camped before. Went to the park for her comfort as she has a terminal illness but we had perfect weather n she enjoyed it very much. Very nice park and has new owners who survived the fires at King Lake in 09 and have moved there to have a complete change. I stocked up on my supplies of Murray River Salt flakes. If any of you use this salt (which is fantastic I have to say) it is half the price in the IGA in Rutherglen than anywhere else I have found it. Not a big salt user but it improves the flavor of my cooking considerably. Maybe my cooking is off to start with??? Enjoy the break at Greens.

Actually, I might be there next week. I am going to visit friends in Narooma over the weekend and then, perhaps visit Canberra, and then to Greens lake, By the way where is it, and is anybody going to be there?Is the fishing any good. Bill

Hi Bill, Norma (shadyandme) is heading out there next Wednesday. She said Nu-one (Michael) is already there.
I hope to go out next Wednesday depending on whether I have to go to Bendigo with daughter on that day. I could get out there later in the day after the Bendigo trip.
If you are coming in through Shepparton which sounds the direction you will come, come out through Mooroopna and head towards Elmore. Just after Stanhope you will find the sign, turn to the right. Theres a stone fence there with Green Acres and Greens Lake written on it and a sign post on the side of the road.
If you get to Corop, one shop very small town, turn around and go back roughly 5 ks.

Hi all you recycled teenagers......Im already there and the weather is great and the site has only got 7/8 campers so there's plenty of room see you all there ill have the camp fire on as usual....

Norma ....how are you fairing ? still standing by.

Oh the Southern 80 is on in Echuca so most of the DWEEBS will be on the Murray this week end ******* god bless em.

cheers NU-ONE Michael

Happywanderer · The Master

See you next wednesday Michael, I can't get there any earlier than that.
Unless I come out for a drive Sunday maybe.
Definitely won't be going near town with the Southern 80 on. It will be impossible to drive anywhere with the amount of traffic around .

jimbo · Guru

Hi Michael! Shirley says Hi Also......Hope your around there come Easter April 4th I'll be there....Pity If I miss you as I have some things for you too Fix....Ha ha ha!

barina · Guru

Hi

As I am new to this site I am wondering if I can arrange it, could I come up for a drive and catch up with some of you this weekend??

I have not done any trips yet but I am planning to in a couple of years once retired.

Regards

They need the second river crossing don't they HW.

jimbo · Guru

Go ahead and be game Barina.......The natives are friendly

Happywanderer · The Master

So right Pam. I did go into town today, parked my side of the rail line and walked it all. Talking to a lady in one of the shops, she had trouble getting to work at 8.30am The bridge was gridlock.
Barina. You are most welcome to go to Greens Lake anytime. There are grey nomads there at the moment. Wander around till you see a sticker.

barina · Guru

Hi all

Is the caravan park easy to find??

Regards
Judy

Happywanderer · The Master

Judy, Its not a caravan park, just a lake with lots of beautiful free parking, has public toilets.
Easy to find not sure which way you would be coming. Its on the road between Shepparton and Elmore. There is a signpost on the road side where you turn and go about 2 ks into the lake, 1ks sealed, 1ks unsealed.
It is between Corop and Stanhope.
My plans have changed because of appointments so now hoping to go out this Sunday as have to be home next Wednesday and Thursday.

Ma · Guru

Perhaps Barina doesn't realise that there is no power there, or do I have it wrong?

barina · Guru

Hi
I don't have a van just will be coming by car to say hello....thanks for the tip

I am a couple of years away from my trips, but keen to meet people who have already begun their journeys...

Regards
Judy

Ma · Guru

A very good way to start Judy. Sit in on happy hour and listen to all the rubbish......just kidding......the nomads that get to Greens Lake are a wealth of information and great people too. I hope one day to be able to meet up with them all.

They will steer you in the right direction and give you lots of stuff to go back home and think about.

An informed decision when it comes to the type of van you want or don't want is much better than going into something like that blind.

Have a great time at Greens everybody.

barina · Guru

Hi
I think by still having a couple of years to go I can use that time to get ready and you are right to find out as much as I can and be as informed as I can and the time should go quicker so I can get OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!

Regards
Judy

bill12 · Guru

Thanks for coming up Judys Lovely to meet you, hope you took away lots of ideas.
Its been a lovely warm day here, not a lot of people this weekend. Has got very windy now so going to put my bed together and pull the pop top down. I don't usually but better to be safe than sorry.

Evie n Rhys · Senior Member

This has probably been asked before, but are dogs allowed at Greens Lake? Is it no. 475 in the camps book? If so, this states no dogs allowed. Looks like a nice place from all your posts, but my dog goes everywhere with me.

Happywanderer · The Master

Yes dogs allowed Jack mac, ignore what it says in the camps book. I have a feeling it does say no dogs but there are always heaps here, under control of course.
Tess, here till Wednesday this time, home for apps then hope to come back Friday to Sunday.
There is only 6 or 7 of campers here at moment, The lake is like a mirror, sun out, blue sky, beautiful
Michael has gone into town for provisions, he's fixing my gas also, was still leaking so hes getting new parts while in there. Gosh, there are some wonderful people around when you get out there. He also made me a rod for holding up my middle seat when I check the oil.

Happywanderer · The Master

I don't get good internet reception out here so only come on for 10 minutes at a time,
Going to check out my TV reception next.

jimbo · Guru

Marj! You remember where I was..Under the trees.....I got great Computer and TV signal there.....I know you all like to be on the Lakes Edge....And so would I.. But as you said.......I could'nt even get a signal thats why I was where I was.......

Evie n Rhys · Senior Member

Would be very interested to see how you go Marj with the TV. Yes Michael was very kind to me when I was up there. It is so nice to meet folk who are willing to help. I certainly got that feeling from all I met up there. How's the weather up there? Is it cold at night?
