Echuca

It was an animal sighting day, yesterday. As we were driving toward Echuca along a little dirt road, we spotted a rather large (but unfortunately dead) Kangaroo. On top of it was a Wedge-tail eagle (That Dave estimated to be 1.8m across).
It didn't like us being so close, so it hopped off the Roo and made a B-line for a nearby tree. The tree's resident magpies were not at all glad to see it, but it dwarfed them significantly and they didn't have a hope of moving it.
We kept going and also saw a big red fox sitting under a shady tree (That got a ear-piercing excited-squeal from me!) and a stag whose antlers were huge!

We got to Echuca and stopped beside the Murray river to figure out where we were going to stay that night, and a paddle steamer called the "Emmy-Lou"  came cruising down the river.
Dave drove through some rather deap mud holes getting back to the main road and I'm very glad I didn't have my window down.

We weren't sure whether we were going to stay for a couple of days in Echuca, but we've packed up and are heading to Swan Hill today.
