Nagambie

Hi, we are now in Nagambie. The photos below were taken near Yarrawonga/ Mulwala where a cyclone ripped through about a week before Easter . What is left is the remains of peoples holiday homes, now closed off entirely to everyone due to fears of asbestosis .




Looking back to the caravan park over a totally demolished brick fence.

House totally demolished  by the cyclone.

Now in Nagambie, a little lovely town, apparently the race horse capital of the the world.  Race horse Black Caviar was born here. Apparently she is now retired here but no one is talking- she is worth more as a stud horse than a racer. We drove past a Stud Farm today, came across this place with 2 horse sculptures outside the gates, very realistic.



Old bridge across the Goulburn River, built in 1940. 



Lake Nagambie, photo taken from the main street, our caravan park is opposite on the far shore.

Photo of a church built in 1885 on the main street.  Look closely at the next photo of the same church!


A B double truck  left the highway in 2003 and ran right through the church, totally demolishing it! Ran right through the middle of it!

Photo taken from the site of the demolished church.
