We did like the park at Renmark and spent most days in the pool. Apart from that we made a quick visit to Almondco and picked up some almonds in various shapes and sizes. The weather for the last week or so has been an incredible 40 degrees plus so we have slept with the fan going full blast and the temperature still 27 degrees at 5 in the morning. We did survive better than we thought and took the car through the car wash although the van looks totally grotty. There were quite a few water skiers on the Murray and houseboats were chugging up and down. For something different we just missed being hit by a eucalypt branch cracking and breaking for no good reason at all!!
The drive from Renmark to Mildura was quite uneventful even though there were more road trains than we thought possible. Mildura is a place we have visited several times in the past so apart from more time spent in their pool, we visited Orange World and did the tour around the orchard.
We decided to leave early for the trip from Renmark to Hay to minimise the heat and after the overnight stay in our (now usual) site went to Wagga Wagga for the last night before reaching Canberra.
It seems incredible that it is 10 months since we were here last. At the end of May last year we were wearing warm clothes and this time we are wearing as little as possible to make the (now quite pleasant temperature) 31 degrees comfortable.
We will now spend about a month in Canberra before heading off for Queensland for the winter.
We would not have missed doing this for the world but it will be nice to see the changes in the grandchildren and collect a few cuddles that were missed during our travels.
