Last weekend I headed up to the town of Mildura, which is a regional city on the banks of the Murray River for a wedding. I had a fabulous time at the wedding (may have drunk a lot more than normal, but that's okay occasionally!) but I also enjoyed walking along the river and taking some photos.

What a beautiful place! I need to see if I have a panorama setting!
ReplyDeleteI do love playing with the panorama setting!
DeleteLike the panorama setting on your camera. Looks very good. You can always tell an Aussie photo. It looks so....well, erm, Australian. It's the light. There is no light anyplace else in the world that is the same as Aus. Enjoyed the diversion of a road trip.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is a certain light particularly out in the country.
DeleteSounds like a fun trip--and a very pretty setting! Thanks for sharing your pics.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun!
DeleteI hadn't seen the Murray for far too long when I went to Mildura in Feb - it really is magnificent. (Also magnificent in Mildura was the bakery which won 2nd place in the national vanilla slice competition!).
ReplyDeleteOh, we had vanilla slices at Hudaks too! Soooo good!
DeleteWhat a lovely setting. I confess I don't know where Meldura.
ReplyDeleteIt's on the border between Victoria and New South Wales in Australia.
DeleteGreat pics!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila.
DeleteWhat beautiful views of the river. I especially like the ones at dusk!
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful setting for a wedding.
DeleteOh, that does look so beautiful, and I love the cockatoos. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/JyyYT
ReplyDeleteI have some more cockatoo photos somewhere.
DeleteWhat a beautiful river setting for a wedding! I'm glad you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely setting.
DeleteI love the wide open spaces out west that your first pic captured so well. The river is looking wonderful right now with so much water in it - the sunset photos are lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Brona!
DeleteSome terrific photos of dusky. It all looks so exotic. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteI was happy with the dusk photos.
DeleteIt all looks so pretty and relaxing!
ReplyDeleteIt was a relaxing weekend Alyce
DeleteGreat photos. although I do have to point out that the bird aren't cockatoos, they are galahs.
ReplyDeleteThat probably explains why the buggers wouldn't cooperate!
DeleteI'm so thrilled to see your panoramas! The light is so beautiful there, I'd love to get to Mildura some day. And yes they're galahs.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous photos you've captured from morning till night. I'm interested in what kind of birds those are.
ReplyDeleteLove the Murray - beautiful pics :)
