Magic on the Darling

Bit of excitement on Wharf Road this week.  You may have noticed a huge power pole marring some of the photos of the view from our deck...
Not any more.
These great works, including extending the wharf, have been promised for some time. 
  HMAS Platypus couldn't wait...
Launched on the Darling at North Bourke in October by Lady Jayne of Rivett, it powered downstream on the chocolate-milk floodwaters and is now is high, dry and happy at Wentworth.

    Perhaps the Good Ship Platypus could voyage to the Murray mouth in time to greet Easter travellers! Now, that would make for a great river journey for a small vessel!

    Dear SOATM - what a brilliant idea!!! I shall provision the HMAS Platypus and send her on her way. It's the ideal time cos the Murray is so high that the levels are virtually equal both sides of the weir.
