On the way back into Strathbogie from Mt Wombat we spotted this Koala perched in a tree.
The three of us enjoying the view from Mt Wombat back in 2012. It would have been nice if we could have managed a smile!
Zoe and Susan’s parents on Mt Wombat, with the farm visible behind Peter, back in December 2012.
Peter and Ruth survey the view from Mt Wombat between Christmas and New Year back in 2012.
The Telstra transmission tower on Mt Wombat, a part of the improvements to the mobile network.
The view from Mt Wombat west in 2012. The Strathbogie plateau is in the mid-ground and you can just make out the edge highlighted by trees. The relatively straight line beyond is the Euroa-Mansfield Road.
The view of the farm from Mt Wombat looking towards Yarck and Melbourne. Galls Gap Rd is the first horizontal band of trees and the Seven Creeks the wave across the middle.
The fire lookout at the top of the 799m (2,621ft) Mt Wombat. This is almost 5 years after the similar view on Brizbunny, from New Year’s Day 2007. Not too much has changed, but at least the track had been resurfaced.
The Rotary Club plaque on Mt Wombat, showing directions and distances of local, and not so local, points of interest. On the no so local destinations, it is interesting that there are only three points outside of Australia – the South Pole, Wellington NZ (2,547Km), and New York USA (16,800Km).
The tourist stage coach pulls into the Port of Echuca Discovery Centre.
Behind the coach is the Upper Murray River flag. The flag is the British White Ensign with the addition of cross in red with five white stars (representing the then five colonies), and four blue bars. The bars are for the major rivers making up the Murray-Darling system, the Murray, the Murrumbidgee, the Lachlan and the Darling.
A Victorian post box found outside the Port of Echuca Discovery Centre. The low door round mail receiving pillar was introduced in the 1860s. They are topped with a crown and surrounded by two broad decorative bands.
