We have finally
made it into South Australia, what a small state Victoria is. It didn’t seem to
be too much of a drive and we have gone from one corner of the state to the
other. I should have done this years ago, I would have been able to put up some
great stories about state budgets for travel. Destination Renmark. A little red
bridge across the Murray and a hard Right and we are in the caravan park, the
bridge is a beautiful old suspension bridge with ornate iron work. On the hill
in Paringa House which means Bend in the River. What a great place to sit back
and have a sleep.
We were camped
right on the water’s edge which gave us a great opportunity to use the kayak
once again and even Patrice felt comfortable.
The problem
with being right on the water’s edge in the bush is that sometimes you get some
unwelcome visitors like this Brown Snake.
This may sound strange but Trice and I have a bit of a
fascination about wandering through cemeteries, we love it and you find out
some great history in the smaller towns. Some remarkable things and some very
sad things are always found. This cemetery was small and very colorful with the
use of crush green glass used to decorate the tops of the grave sites. There
was a Muslim section which was totally separate to the rest, fenced off and
facing Qibla or north.
Walking back to the town centre was 1 of the 11 Black
Stumps in Australia which was brought to Renmark by floating it down the
Murray.
