Echuca two

We are getting lazy in Echuca. Yesterday we got up just in time to get a shower before they closed them for cleaning, then wandered around to the shops to stock up the pantry, and it was lunch time. Kathy has wanted to put up extra shade at the ends of the awning, so yesterday we bought the materials and rigged them up. We (Kathy) will have to sew them up properly when we get home.
Ducks from the river come into the park, and it was not long before Kathy had one eating out of her hand. See pic.
Ants get everywhere. We have ant traps on the van legs, we spray surface spray on everything that touches the ground, but the little devils manage to find a way in. This time they were crawling up the broom handle that was leaning against the van.
This morning we had a cruise on the river. The paddle steamer Emmylou took us up the river and back. A real steamer, burning wood to boil the water to make the steam that drives the paddles, none of that “diesel engine that puffs steam up the chimney just for the effect” trickery.
