Echuca Bound

 From Hay, we headed south on the Cobb Highway along what is known as "The Long Paddock".  This stretches between Echuca and Willcania.  It is a region where the boundary fences are well away from the road and cattle can be driven along the Long Paddock, particularly at times of drought when food is short.  Even though there has been  plenty of water this year, we encountered a number of mobs of cattle along the road.

Claire was keen to catch up with Noel who had been unwell recently but seemed in reasonably good spirits for our visit.
