North to Kerang

 Heading north we visited Boort, a town that seemed to be about as remote as you can get in Victoria.  It is also a town that has seen more prosperous times but is still an attractive location on the shores of Lake Boort.

On the way through to Kerang we called into Lake Meran.  In the late 1960s and early 70s we had spent many happy hours at the Lake on picnics and water skiing with our boat "Beefa".  During the drought, the lake was dry and grain was harvested on the damper soil that was the bottom of the lake.  We were pleased to see it back as we remembered it although the water level was still low.
