Very cold morning but fine as we departed from the lovely Burra Caravan Park. The journey of 420kms was a bit boring early this morning as the landscape was just as we have been seeing for a few days now, plenty of saltbush and scrubby trees for some distance before the views changed as we entered the farming areas.
Had a short stop for a morning coffee at Renmark, then continued on in the direction of Robinvale changing highways to again find ourselves on the Sturt Highway.
As we came closer to Mildura we began to see Orchards, Vineyards, Almond tree plantations and other fruit growing crops. Crossed over the mighty Murray River at Euston then a short time later we found the Riverside Caravan Park at Robinvale.
Our site is wonderful, a lovely grassy site right on the banks of the Murray.
We have timed our stay here to catch up with Ted and his little dog Daisy who we have seen on a number of occasions at other places on this journey. We first met Ted at Glendambo, then Coober Pedy, Daly Waters, Mataranka, then Darwin and have been following his journey to finally meet him here again in Robinvale.
Ted lives at Wodonga and today is his final day on the road, so it was wonderful to spend the afternoon and evening with him and his little dog. We shared a great campfire together at our evening dinner and swapped stories of our adventures over the past four and a half months. A very nice gentleman who has an interesting life story.
One more day to go for us on this epic journey and are now so close to home. The children have been in touch and are looking forward to seeing us on Sunday. Just hope they remember to bring food! |
