Barham

 25 - 27 March 2022

After a very successful trip to Deniliquin we had no firm plan about where we would stop next. Instead I had identified a number of potential spots along the Murray River which we would have a look at and make up our minds once we found one that would suit us. We set the GPS for Swan Hill and made Barham our first stop.

Barham, is a smallish town, with a supermarket, pubs, cafes and a club all within walking distance of the caravan park right on the river. We decided this would suit us nicely for a couple of nights, with a powered site so Mick could edit the thousand or so photos he had taken while on the bird tour in Deniliquin. We went for a wander around the park and noticed some much sought-after riverfront spots, and a large unpowered section, also near the river. Later in the day we walked along the riverside path, before having dinner at the club. 

We took the opportunity to do some shopping and washing while at Barham, and went for another walk along the river - this time across the bridge and into Victoria. We have crossed the Murray River a number of times on this trip, by road and ferry, but this was the first time we had done it on foot.

While we were camped at Barham, we spent some time planning the next part of our journey and booked three nights at Hattah-Kulkyne National Park. Leaving Barham on Sunday morning with a destination organised allowed a relaxed morning.
