Christmas in Mildura

We spent a few days over Christmas with Amy's parents in Mildura. It's a decent drive from Canberra (800km/500 miles...about 11 hours) and 40 minutes out of Canberra Audrey was asking the legendary question 'Are we nearly there yet?'

Fortunately both kids were excellent both ways during the drive and we stopped for breakfast in both directions at the excellent park in Narrandara which broke things up a bit.

Mildura is a nice town on the Murray river and while we were there I did a spot of fishing with Amy's Dad (the river is overflowing with carp) and we also paid a visit to nearby Wentworth, considered a potential for Australia's capital city in 1901 following federation. We also had a slightly traumatic trip to the swimming pool (Eli getting overawed by the wave-machine there!)

Here's some pics from what was a thoroughly enjoyable Christmas/New Year.
