What is the water level like in the Murray Doug? There's been so much flooding in the last few years, is it still up or has it receded again?

Hi Nicholstones, yes it is up, in fact when we got to Apex Park the Captain mentioned that there is not much beach at the moment due to the river being up. It sure looks healthier here in Mildura than when I was in Echuca in May and I'll tell you that for free. It's great, I havn't seen the Murray so high for years.

Speaking of Apex Park, what a great looking CV Park there. I went and checked it out in the Afternoon, very nice on the river front sites.

Glad your enjoying it, the weather cannot be as bad as down here ??? could it, your nights might have been cold, but what about the days ??

That whole riverina area is really good, I go to Midura a lot and Always find something new to see or do, Are you doing a slow trip home now ??

You must make a point of going back up that way when it's warmer weather, you only Like it now . You will Love it then ??

I grew up in Mildura and remember the river flooding every year, Apex Park and Baronga Caravan parks were always untder water and Loch 11 open.

The Murray has a certain charm that permeates the your soul. A wonderful old lady, so pleased to see her in better health these days.

Hi Doug, Alan and I were in Baronga CP yesterday too, in fact we went over to the island in the afternoon and watched the Melbourne go through the loch. Great to see. Couldn't get over all the pelicans waiting downstream of the weir for the fish to come over. We are in Waikerie CP tonight - very roomy. Brenda
