76m/250ft tall (ob deck-35m accessed by 160 steps). It was built 1967-68. its a beauty!
When Reg and I got home from the Grampians I missed those mountains and the exercise of climbing them with Reg and he slipped backward both physically and in cognitive function so I tried to jolly him up and tell him we were going out to climb the highest mountain in Shepparton together.  So I took him into Shepparton and we had lunch of a healthy salad sandwich and a low fat coffee, at a nice little cafe with the view of the tallest mountain in Shepparton.  lol.  The Telstra Tower :-).

Reg was not well enough to climb it with me, he said he would sit and drink coffee while I climbed it.  It is great exercise.
Then we walked all around the streets with me walking in and out of the stores, browsing while Reg walked slowly.  So I was able to combine my carer duties with exercises.  It worked well.

Tomorrow we leave for our tour.  I have had a busy day packing organizing, and a few problems caused by not being able to watch Reg 100% of the time.  We survive these.

I know that tomorrow night we will be camped beside a river and I will be able to exercise while Reg wanders along the bank with Indigo the poodle, who also takes good care of him, and I can run around and keep both of them in my sight.  Or if it is raining, I have packed my weights, my Michelle bridges DVD's and I have lots of novels and Sudaku to keep Reg entertained.  It will be easier to exercise, once we are 'back on the road'.

Eco therapy is a great healer for all conditions and I expect to see Reg greatly improve on health within a few days of our leaving for our tour of eastern Australia.
