Moving On

We arrived in Tallangatta to find that we had misplaced the charger for Mobile phone so after a quick trip to Wodonga to get new one & a nights rest it was on to Corryong. We travelled there via Walwa & Tintildra to see all the history of the Watsons. We made an unintentionally detour to Bethanga. which took us around the upper reaches of the Hume dam & the Murray River. Fantastic country & must look great when dam is fuull. A local told us it has been 10 years since it was full, he also told us in graphic language that there was nothing to see in Walwa.
Back to the trip at Walwa we were lucky to meet the present owner of Walwa Homestead the original home of Sydney Watson who gave us a tour including the Grave.
Then on to Tintildra to see the General store & hotel started by Sydney we were given a history talk on the area. At Corryong we met a descendent of the builder of Sydney Watsons Hotel & store. Sydney Watson seems to have been a man of vision as wel as another brother Archibald (who was known as "The Prof).
