Rob and I headed out to the Riverside Golf Course this morning and we were blessed with beautiful weather. I dropped Rob off and while he was enjoying a round of golf, I visited the nearby, large cemetery and spent about an hour there mainly looking at the older headstones. The most tragic were those of young people who had drowned and unfortunately there were many of those. One family lost two children on the same day and after looking the names up on Trove, I found this very sad article. https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/102155808
That was
enough for me to leave the cemetery and drive into town. The main part of the
Mildura riverfront has a lovely walk which incorporates indigenous culture, history,
the arts, waterparks, galleries and various cafes. I was so impressed with both
the repairs to existing structures and new infrastructures installed since the
recent 2022/23 flood. I thoroughly enjoyed wandering along the paths and of
course visited both a café and gallery. Upon arriving back at the car, Rob
called to say he had completed his round of golf. After collecting him we returned
to a riverfront cafe for a late lunch. We then visited a lookout but realised
we had actually visited this lookout before and unlike the Murray River lookout
out from Renmark, it wasn’t that spectacular. Rob did have fun climbing some of
the structures in this area!
