We have spent a hot few days in Glenrowan and the surrounding district and it has been a good camp.
It is currently 39 deg with a hot northerly wind.
The Glenrowan Caravan and Tourist Park is nestled back into the foothills behind the town.
Shotgun blasts from the hill behind remind us of the days when the Kelly gang roamed this area.
The park pool has received good use each afternoon for a welcome cool off.
Daily visitors have included the mandatory grey kangaroos and numerous blue wrens
in the morning and evening feeding on ground level insects.
Our trip out to Samaria Farm, where they have over 3000 Damask Roses, was rewarded with some roses still surviving the heat. A Devonshire coffee with homemade blackberry jam and real cream capped off our stay nicely.
A quick stop on the way home at the Tatong Pub completed the loop on back roads.
Benalla, known as the “hometown”of Ned Kelly, has enabled us to restock provisions.
The local wall art is quite a feature around town and the lake is a relaxing central feature.
We took a drive out to King Valley with a stop for lunch in the bush beside the King River
which was flowing well and returned to camp via Wangaratta.
Packing up camp in the morning and off to the head waters of the Murray.
