Today was the final day of #rfeaustralia2020. Our Albury /Wodonga hosts first took us out for a lovely walk along the Murray River at Hodge Island park. There were lots of sculptures to see along with wild life. We saw our first snake in the wild. A red belly back snake. Poisonous as most snake are in Australia. Didn't pick it up.
We then drove thru the country around the upper reaches of Hume lake. Pretty country with lots of grazing. The water is low in the lake so the cattle graze on grass in pastures that are sometimes well under water.

We had lunch at the Jingellic pub. This is an area that has been really hurt by the bush fires and we drove thru miles of valleys where the trees were burned from the top to the roadway. The really surprising thing is how quickly it has begun to regrow. There were lots of people in the pub helping to regenerate the economy.
We also visited the small town of Tumbarumba and poked around the general store.. Again to help the local economy. It was a step back in time
There was a lot of evidence of the recent fires.
Finally we all got together for a last supper with our hosts at Victor Supper club. It was a tasty ending to the RFE.
