THE JEW AND HIS HARP

The Jew's Harp, Swan Hill, Victoria, Australia (Photo: Andrew Smith)Last night I returned from a four-day motorhoming extravaganza with one of my oldest friends, another Andrew, who took the above photo of me playing a Jew's Harp I bought at the Pioneer Settlement Musuem in Swan Hill, about 240km from Melbourne.
We swapped my little Barina for a big fat KEA Campers motorhome, and drove up to Swan Hill, then along the Murray Valley to Echuca-Moama, and then south along the Goulburn Valley Highway to Seymour. Along the way we did all sorts of things, as is usually the case on a trip like this.
I needed enough material (stuff to write about, and pics) for three travel stories, as well as three caravan park-specific stories, so we were well occupied. It's all for Caravan World and Motorhome World magazines.
In between everything we enjoyed the delights that are motorhoming, like frying burger patties in a car park and driving everywhere with a cold fridge full of food. Excellent. And we got to meet some of the other RVers in the parks, who were generally at least twice as old as us, and were most interested to find out what the two of us were doing with the shiny rental motorhome.
Here's a special thanks to KEA Campers for the loan of the vehicle -- service, vehicle and general experience was great, and I'd recommend them to anyone.
Smith, with whom I was travelling, is a talented designer and photographer, and it was awesome to trundle along with someone else capable of taking over six hundred shots in four days. He also has an intuitive understanding of colour-correction in Photoshop, so I was able to absorb some of that, as should be evident in the shots below.
It so happened that a few places we went were exceptional as far as photographic opportunities go, with different lighting, textures, colours, and pretty much an unlimited number of interesting subjects.
Tahbilk Winery was especially good, with Goulburn Weir a close second.
I'll post the articles as they're published.
