Day 22 - Swan Hill

---

Today I took a trip down to Swan Hill to have a quick look at the area. At the Information Centre I heard about the Lake Boga Flying Boat Museum and, being a bit of a plane geek, I just had to go and have a look.
Lake Boga has been completely dry for a couple of years bacause of the drought, so the various aquatic facilities look strangely out of place. It's hard to visualise it with yachts and speedboats zipping around, let alone as it was during WW2 with flying boats taking off and landing for servicing at the No1 RAAF Flying Boat Repair Depot on the southern shore.

Lack of things aquatic
First, platypuses, now water. It seems that Australia is not well endowed in the aquatic department. A Catalina Flying Boat at the Lake Boga Flying Boat Museum? You astound me, sir.
