We headed to Red Cliffs to visit Big Lizzie, an amazing machine built late in the 1800’s to assist in the transport of wool and other goods out of the Mallee country, and an attempt to replace the camel trains.
An amazing early machine that had a travel speed of 2 km/hr. It was converted to a Mallee scrub crusher and contracted by the Government to crush the scrub for the settlers, in around 1920.
We drove on into Swan Hill and booked into the Park for 2 nights to give us time to look around this historic river port town.
We took a short drive around the town to gain our bearings, then headed back home.
