10/11/14 - Echuca Vic

Visited Echuca, about 40km NE of Lockington, last time we visited here we still lived in Adelaide, back in the 80s. It sure has changed a lot, like so many other places we visit now after many years it has become really "touristy". IMHO it has lost its' charm.

Anyway, we had a good time and took some nice photos.

9/11/14 - Lockington Vic

Next we moved to Lockington, where we had never been before, quite an interesting little town with a very nice Travellers Rest low cost camping facility, managed by a lovely helpful lady, Dorothy.

A different idea for the bathrooms.

I bet Scotland can't compete with this "monster"

 

Some nice old buildings in Lockington, this is worth visiting.

6-8/11/14 - Rochester Vic

Of on our first trip after all the excitement of purchasing and getting things organised. Stayed relatively close to home as this is really more of a "shake down" trip to make sure things are as they should be.

First stop Rochester in the Rochester Caravan Park on the banks of the Campaspe River.

Quite a nice little park with a fair percentage of permanents in both caravans and cabins, but kept neat and tidy.

Rochester was the birthplace of Sir Hubert Opperman, the famous Australian road cycle champion.

The Rochester Railway Station is also the Visitor Information Centre.

 

There are some nice old buildings in Rochester.
