LAKE MULWARA
MURRAY RIVER
THURSDAY 29.3.2012: Yesterday stopped for lunch at Lake Mulwala - eerie vista. In 1937 the first suggestions were made concerning the clearing of the red gum forest to be submerged in the creation of Lake Mulwala. The bands of local volunteers worked long hours to clear the area, and the felled trees were never removed. The tree felling was completed in June 1939, and the first filling of the lake was started on August 12th, 1939. The evening was spent at Howlong Lions Park by the side of the Murray River. Thursday we continued on our road trip to the Jugiong Showground. Visited the local cellar door, come art, come produce shop and of course sampled the wares!
