A Different Easter

The religous Easter celebrations certainly were different and served to highlight the difficulties faced by both clergy and community in the remoter parts. The experience was worth writing about just by itself, but not here. The first photo is my Easter photo as these trees have really seen a resurrection with the coming of unlimited water. Slight wind into K for Kerang which was very quiet in the street but in the grip of a major tennis carnival. Sport still plays a vital role in country communities. The park manager said it was nightmare - the six year olds were up at six, and the teenagers were just going to bed!  Enroute we followed the trail of Burke and Wills in part. Cool night with strong winds, but the tent was sturdy. People in the caravan park watched with wonder as we unpacked, encamped then got it all back into our panniers this morning. Luke spent the afternoon at the local museumwhere he found a soul mate in an 80 odd yo  local. Today he couldn't help but share trivia every time we stopped. I think the old guy enjoyed having someone who was really interested and could share knowledge. Photo is of the Kerang look-out tower, although what they were looking for was not described. Not shown is the Kerang clock tower whose construction was quite contentious because the Truck-bus to Bendigo could no longer negotiate the turn.It was not accepted by the locals until renamed after a revered school principal who saved three school children from drowing in the river, only to drown herself.
