That’s right…we are home…. well on home turf anyway…hehe š
After another long day on the car we crossed the border back into Victoria. Now we have crossed both the WA and SA borders twice each in our travels, and it was pretty low key really. There was a sign that said welcome to SA, or welcome to WA. Not so when crossing into Victoria…
On the Victorian side of the border, there was about a kilometer of signs to welcome you…. “Speed camera used in Victoria”, “Speed limit in 100 unless specified”, “Fixed speed cameras used in Victoria” etc etc…
Welcome to the state where we will photograph and charge you if you let the speed limit slip even slightly… and no arguments about not knowing cause we warned you on the way in!!!! Hahah…. good to be home LOL.
Anyway, as I was saying, we left Port Augusta bright and early (about 10am) and hit the road. First stop was for some real breakfast at the Scottish Hamburger joint we hadn’t seen for awhile… McDonalds… then it was a short 8 hour drive and 600 odd kms to Mildura.
We also stopped at an American Southern Style Chicken shop (KFC) in Renmark for dinner, so that is all of our missed take away food covered off in one day!!
Renmark was a lovely little town, and would certainly be somewhere worth a closer look when we have more time.
We arrived in Mildura just after 6pm, and took a drive through the town. Mildura is a big place, a lot bigger than I remember. Now I don’t know if Fi has been in country a little too long or not, but she was astounded at the size of the place!!! We grabbed some tourist brochures from the caravan park and will spend today exploring the town.
Will probably leave here Monday though, and head to Swan Hill. It is only a 2 hour drive (huh!! do that before breakfast!!!) and stay a night there after spending the day at the Pioneer Settlement. Will likely then head to Euchua and see where to from there. It is a scary thought that there is only 1 week to go…. so much to do and so little time.
