On our trip from Mannum to Renmark we found this sign that has some interesting facts on the Murray River. I was interested to note the Murray is the third largest river in the world!
The view from our office during coffee break
Beautiful Renmark
Oooooo who's that?
Plushes Bend is where we stayed which is a nice camp site just out of Renmark
Some friends we met up with just having fun
Ummm well sort of!!
Some friends of ours decided to drop around for a bit of a jamboree, oh what fun we did have!
Johnno on the right is an established bush poet and gave us a rendition of number of his pieces. One was about the last man off Gallipoli which just about brought us to tears. He showed me a letter he received from John Laws about his work. Impressed!
Shows you why there are a number of trees that have fallen over into the Murray. Over time the roots get washed by the high waters and eventually they can't handle the weight of the tree.
So Renmark is very close to the border of South Australia and Victoria so we decided it was time to throw some more fruit and vegies away and cross the border. Interestingly on this sign I found a bumper sticker that said 'Folding is more sustainable than scrunching'. Quite glad after all this time to know the sustainable way to wipe my bum. Phew! ;)
And with that we hit the road!
