We travelled from Walwa to Corowa via Holbrook. Holbrook is a pretty town with history related to submarines. There’s a huge sub in the middle of town. Pretty impressive,
We had a really lovely brunch at a little Cafe called J&B’s Gourmet Cafe. We recommend it. if you ever pass this way.. Lovely hot real tea (not easy to get) and the food was great.
From Holbrook we travelled to Corowa and stayed there for two nights. It’s a cute little town with a population of around 5,000. Brand new houses in Corowa, on an acre, are going for about $350,00 Not bad!
The CP we stayed in was the ‘Ball Park’ which was conveniently close to town. The park was not busy so it was very relaxing for us.
Jayne found the cutest Cafe called Docs with great coffee and really lovely toasted sandwiches. Happy days. This may be completely random but I loved the toasty because it was different. The ham and tomato had been precooked and then the sandwich made - the bread was then buttered on the outside and fried on both sides. IT WAS SOOO GOOD. Naughty but nice. The tea was a teabag which was a little disappointing.
We went shopping at a local sports store. spent too much money - Woolies and Docs (a few times). All the towns we’ve visited so far have showed signs of doing it tough due to Covid, We hope we can help a little by shopping locally..
Off to Echuca next. No idea where we are staying. We have not pre booked 95% of this trip because experience has proven that the advertising on the park sites can be deceiving. We turn up - check out the options and hope for the best.
Our plans are changing because of Japanese Encephalitis, which is prevalent around the Murray region at the moment.. More about that later.
Hope all are well and happy. Signing off for now.
