Back to the Murray River

MURRAY RIVER by Mildura. Today we drove through to this area, last year we visited Echuca further east on the Murray, the river looks the same at this stage but it may be a couple of months before the water from the Queensland floods filters through. STURT HIGHWAY From Swan Hill through to here there were quite a few wineries, citrus farms and olive trees. It is strange in that at times you have arid bush like this and then orchards as below.

ORANGE GROVES along the highway. The ground is just so dry and the area has more days of sunshine than the Gold Coast, on average 300 days. The mornings are crisp and days at the moment around 30 degrees.
