We reluctantly left the beautiful Murray region after a detour to Wentworth to see the confluence of the Murray and Darling rivers. It was really wonderful to see the brown of the Darling meeting the blue green waters of the Murray. And such a healthy flow after all the rainfalls in northern NSW and Queensland. We drove from Mildura to Forbes ( with a night in Hay on the way). We enjoyed Gary and Judy's hospitality once again and Ray cooked us all a delicious curry dinner as our final meal together of the trip. As Forbes was rapidly becoming isolated by floodwaters, we left early the next morning and headed to Cootamundra, instead of the the blue mountains as planned, as the road to Orange was closed. This enabled us to visit Meg and Mick overnight, which was a pleasant diversion. Our final night before reaching Sydney was in Morton National Park at Bundanoon in the southern highlands - beautiful. We are currently camped in Lane Cove National Park while we wait for our apartment to become available, mid January. Its good to be home for Christmas.
