Day 2

Got out of the Oxley's bright and early (about 10am). We realised we had been to Lake Boga many times before, but we had never been through the Catalina Flying Boat museum, so we stopped and checked it out. It's all about when Lake Boga used to have a secret flying boat repair base during World War 2. There is an underground bunker that houses heaps of old photos, maps, memorabelia, etc. All up 416 aircraft were serviced there during the war including Mariners, Kingfishers and of course Catalinas. We then checked out the Catalina in a big shed next to the bunker.

Also saw our first emus between Robinvale and Mildura - about 10 in total. Then of course had to buy some oranges on the side of the road.

Till next entry......Richard
