Murray holiday

Holidays are an indulgence from the perspective of both time and money, but they’re important family occasions.

I still remember the occasional long trips we made when I was small and I’m sure it’s the same for our kids today.

This was a relatively small trip in terms of duration and distance, but a very enjoyable one.

We spent one night in Shepparton and two in Moama. In Shepparton we visited Kidstown, did some shopping, went to the Ardmona factory sales outlet and the children enjoyed an afternoon at the indoor swimming pool.

They have water slides there and all sorts of other devices to entertain young ones.

While they were paddling around I enjoyed watching the Lions win their third straight premiership.

They’re an awesome team and if they can find motivation through another long season in 2004 I think they can win another premiership.

Echuca/Moama is a great place for families. Attractions included go-kart rides and the inetvitable paddle steamer cruise. We had tennis courts and solar-heated pools where we stayed as well.

The Murray is a mighty river at that point and I love the river gums. September is an ideal time to visit, although surprisingly cold this year.
