The first week at work's tiring as any new job will be, then I get into it and by the 3rd week the honeymoon's over and it's work as usual! It's a good practice though and with the barrage of new cases I'm learning a bit.
The first weekend I'm pretty tired and saturday's chilled out and going to the pub with the girls from work. On the Sunday I drive over to Echuca- a town on the Murray river (which marks the border between Victoria and New South Wales) and once important in the wool trade with paddlesteamers transporting the produce. Today the paddlesteamers are just for the tourists. There's a beautiful path along the river beneath the Red gums and I enjoy a walk. Bizarrely the town has a celtic festival going on and the sound of bagpipes is incongruous with my shady gum trees!
On the way home I stop at the Great Ozzie Beer shed - which gets a Rough Guide mention- and it clearly some guy's obsesson but impressive!
Then long, straight roads all the way home.
