Surat - Roma


Well today is going to be very different because all morning the hype was that the cattle were arriving at 9 then 10 and the last time was 11:00am.  At 9 they did not arrive so at 10:30 Paul & I walked over the bridge as the best place to take photos was on the other side.  While we were waiting I had a nurse of Mia the dachshund.

 
We waited over there for a good hr or so in the hot sun eventually we saw them and it to them sometime to get them organize to cross the bridge and once the lead horses came across the cattle followed and it was a marvellous site.  
 
 
 
We started heading back over the bridge and the second lot of cattle which were supposed to come across until 3pm were there and the men tried to get them across a couple of times but with no luck so they took them up steam to the weir and took them across there.

 
By this time it is 1pm and we wanted to head off to Roma so we decided to have a quick lunch before heading off.  It was only about 90ks to Roma and it was a good run we arrived before 3pm had a look in at the info centre found the caravan park before heading down the street to have a look in mum’s favourite shop (material).   A night watching football on TV and we have decided to stay here a couple of days to do some washing and see a few things around town.
