Echuca steam rally weekend

[Barry]

Seems a bit quite at the moment so I thought I'd put up a few photos. Taken at the rally and on the river last weekend.

Hi Barry,
Very nice photos, you have captured the atmosphere very well. I loved being on the river when I lived in Australia. They make for very nice models as well.
Well done

The last two pictures in particular are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Given the heading, I guess that 2011_0612_120748.JPG (223.67 kB, 1024x768 - viewed 8 times.) is Campaspe River at the rally site.
A collapsed concrete wall blocks that bit from being accessed by even low boats on medium water (they have to get over the snags, but under two bridges).
I took Jessie II up in low water, and got no further than the first pub before hitting too many snags.
AFAIK several of the lower paddleboats have reached the highway bridge.
