After trying to catch trout in the river edging the caravan park John decided to try his luck at a trout farm so we drove to the trout farm in a town called Harrietville – 30kms south of Bright. Lovely little town and the trout farm was well organised. They had quite a few ponds with varying sizes of fish and ponds with breeding stock. It was very cheap at $13/kilo after they had cleaned the fish. I was coerced into catching a fish (not happy). We caught three good sized fish and the total cost was $20. Very cheap compared to what you would pay in a restaurant. That night we went to a Rotary meeting in Bright. Nice club with about 34 members. Quite a proactive club and their big thing is a waterslide that they operate at the river during the summer months. Our last day spent exploring a town called Wandiligong which is 4kms from Bright (opposite end to Porepunkah where we are staying). In the gold mining days there was an influx of Chinese to the area and a Chinese bridge stands as a reminder of days gone by. Later in the day Coco and I went for walk along the Ovens River in Bright. For dinner we had our trout which was absolutely beautiful. We dined by the river, how nice is that. The over friendly duck is back and Coco was so jealous and the duck was totally not bothered by her all even though I’m sure Coco would have liked to harm it. The duck is not at all interested in me (or Coco) and won’t leave John alone even to the point of chasing him when he tried to run away from it. It really is very funny. We have just worked out why we are getting invaded by kids and found out school holidays have stated in Victoria – time to move to NSW they don’t start until next week!
