EUSTON, NSW - POPULATION: 462

THURSDAY 27 - FRIDAY 28.2.2014: First stop Euston - lovely little village. Stopped outside the local club and had the customary poodle exercise by the great Murray River, although it must be stated that the dogs did not fully appreciate the river's significance! The greater Euston area, including Lake Benanee was first settled on the site of the new allocation of land ("on run"), at that time called Boomiarcool Station (1846). The run was later called Euston Station. From the 1850s the land surrounding Lake Benanee was devoted to wool production and irrigation began to be established around the lake to sustain fruits, vines and vegetables. We had a beautiful stay at the Lake Benanee Rest Area 15km east of Euston.
Madison and Shayden had a 'free' run on the beach. Talk about souls possessed, they ran that much that it will take another week for both to recover. Shayden is running in his bandage as old man wart body has one wart that required protection from the elements!
