I think Steven got his fill of driving in Australia on this trip (24 hours total). We rented a car and headed north. Our first stop was a city called Mildura, in northwest Victoria. We really enjoyed this city. They have palm trees lining their major street and lots of neat things to do. Wineries, restaurants and shops. We strolled along the river around dusk and Steven caught some good pictures...
About an hours drive from Mildura is Lake Mungo. But there were no beach bums or bathing beauties here. Oh no! Lake Mungo is actually the remnant of an ancient lake.
The Lake last experienced permanent water over 10,000 years ago and has recorded continuous indigenous habitation for 40,000+ years – making it the site of the oldest known human occupation in Australia. This is where they discovered the first known cremation.
Next on our journey was Wagga Wagga (not to be confused with Wocka-Wocka). This was another town we really enjoyed. They had a city park that had beautiful flowers and surroundings. We were able to watch the hundreds of beautiful white cockatoos that inhabited the trees. They also had a nice little market going on around this river area...

Next we headed to Merimbula and Pambula beach. We visited the beautiful beach areas they offer and just basked in the warm sun. Very nice on a cool autumn day! Overall, a very lovely Easter trip!
