Camping at Edward River

We haven't been camping for a while, so took the opportunity to meet up with some of Trev's 'Offals' fishing mates at a camp at Edward River, near Deniliquin.  I was expecting basic bush camping on the banks of a river, but it's a little more luxurious than that - we have an old tram with beds and a huge fireplace, a couple of big covered areas for congregating and eating, a FLUSHING TOILET, HOT WATER and HOT SHOWERS!  Unbelievable - and most welcome considering we have had nothing but rain for the last two days!  

So, we've just had to sit around eating and drinking - it's been tough, so far.  We had a lovely roast dinner (lamb & beef) a couple of nights ago, then a tasty red chicken curry with thai stirfry vegetables & rice last night.  I think it's a bbq tonight and a chicken & champagne lunch tomorrow for Melbourne Cup day.  We'll probably have a sweep or two to make it interesting.

The boys have been fishing but haven't been too successful as yet - caught a beautiful small murray cod but had to let it go as it was undersize.  They're currently building a big table and chairs to leave here for future use.  Will post some photos when I've recharged the battery on our little netbook.
