With great reluctance we left Porepunkah this morning heading north to NSW. We really enjoyed our time in the Alpine country it is one of the loveliest places we have encountered so far. We would like to experience all four seasons there. Who knows maybe one day we may move there for a year or so. We crossed the border in NSW at Albury and after much discussion about our fruit and veges and what we can or can’t take over the border it was a none event as there was no border control or even bins to toss stuff. We are staying in a resort about 40kms outside of Albury called Wymah Resort. It sits on the edge of Lake Hume. At the moment it is 18% full and was down as low as 5%! There is a great boat ramp about 500m from the shoreline. Huge fish are jumping out of the water and apparently there is redfin, murray cod, carp, trout (brown and rainbow) in the lake. Not sure what we saw jumping. It is very pretty particularly as the sun was going down with lots of dead trees (not sure if they would be petrified) in the water. Not sure how long we will stay here, originally booked in for one night. We are heading to Dubbo to spend Easter with Scott, Joanne, Briette and Alec who we met on our trial run last year in Walpole and who we have since caught up with on the road in WA. We plan on getting there on Thursday and there is lots to see between here and there.

Was in Albury last year on a bike ride. Unfortunately didn't see much of the area as it was what we call a "FarRide" - 1000km+ in 24 hrs. Rode down from Gympie, couple of hours sleep in Dubbo (was freeeezing!!) and had lunch at Thurgoona Country club in Albury (with about 70 others who had come from all over the country) then got back on the bike and rode straight back home!
