Lakeside at Lake Mulwala.

45 minutes from our farm is Lake Mulwala. On the Murray River, this man-made lake & weir straddles the New South Wales and Victorian border at Yarrawonga (on the Victorian side) & Mulwala (on the NSW side). The weir was built in 1930’s to help drought proof the Murray Valley as part of the Murray-Darling Irrigation Scheme.

It is now a tourist drawcard for boating & fishing enthusiasts. We are neither of those but it does make for a lovely picnic spot… when the crowds aren’t about. We had it almost to ourselves last night.

  5. You can never be alone with a picnic if there is a gull within a mile.
