Mulwala, New South Wales

Friday March 10th saw us head North East towards Yarrawonga on the Victoria/New South Wales border. We took a rural route which was quite lovely and not busy at all. Had a quick stop in Shepparton for a stretch and a snack along the way. We arrived around lunch and got settled into a caravan park on the north side of the lake at Mulwala. We had booked in at the DC on the Lake, Top Tourist for the weekend as was a long weekend in Victoria. The park was fairly modern and we got a nice large site. There was a nice new swimming pool and amenities as much of the park had been damaged in a tornado the year before. The park was nice but busy because of the long weekend. Amenity block was good but not big enough for a full caravan park. I believe they may be still re-building some more so I'll give 4 Stars.

I won't go into much detail as we basically hunkered down for the long weekend and relaxed. We were right next to a reserve where you can free camp. We avoided because of long weekend but we still could have found some spots as it turned out. No facilities but close to lake and would be good for a group. The weekend was hot though so we had our air conditioner running most of the time. Would have been uncomfortable without power I think.

Lots of kids around our campsite so wasn't the quietest weekend and we avoided the pool most of the time because of the crowds. We did some nice walks along the lake through the reserve over the weekend. The lake itself is quite different as is a dam area with lots of dead tree stumps. Interestingly it is a water ski mecca which seems fairly hazardous to my way of thinking. Boats and boat trailers were everywhere throughout the park and both Mulwala and Yarrawonga. Not a place I'd spend a lot of time unless with a group of people with boats.
