Echuca - After Yarawonga, it was great to be reaching another larger town... The excitement as the kms drop off and it is clear we will soon be seeing a bridge (indicating a town) is palpable. Something other than muddy riverbanks and gum trees. As we paddle, wildlife generally scatters, buyt we are welcomed to Echuca by a family of ducks which. instead of ducking underwater, working frantically to become airbourne, orswimming off in the opposite direction, swim straight at us. Unfortunately, we have nothing to feed them. The provisions awe carry are planned so that we have only just exactly enough to get us from town to town.
In Echuca (Day 14), we availed ourselves of internet, the post, Telstra (to recharge the phone), and shopping... Target, Safeway, Big W and all of the goodwill shops are always on the itinerary. And after a hard day of running around, we actually ate out. Squash pizza in a restaurant which (while lovely) had as many mozzies as the park in which we were camping.
