The Plover

Went shopping on Monday and in the carpark garden we came across this Plover who is nesting there.
Photo taken with my phone and I couldn't get close because the plover would get angry. 
Plovers are a protected species in Tasmania where I live. More to read about the Plover

At Mildura, Victoria

Hoping you will enjoy a journey inland in the State of Victoria to inland New South Wales, Australia. I think this was our 3rd or 4th trip at that time in the car staying at Motels along the way and eating our meals at restaurants. These early years of travelling we didn't take our caravan..

Showing photos of Swan Hill on the Victorian and New South Wales border from 2003, yes a long time ago.  This is inland about 9 hours from Sydney.  

Didn't take many photos with my digital camera because the 'cards' back then didn't hold a lot of photos.  There were not many places to take the cards to either to have the photos put on a Disc CD or DVD but not sure if DVD's were about then. Sometimes the places we went to didn't know what I was talking about.  In those days I didn't have a laptop either. To access email we had to go to an Internet Cafe whilst travelling.

Mildura is on the border of Victoria and New South Wales inland. There is a population of about 33,444 people.  There are river cruises on steam boats to be had.

The Church is St. Mary's Catholic Church.

Last two photos. The bridge at a place called Swan Hill not too far from Mildura, south east to be exact and it also situated on the border of Victoria and Swan Hill. 2 hours and 30 minutes drive.

I haven't shown these photos before, maybe the bridge, the last photo once, a long time ago.
