The Barge we didn't NEED to go on!

After Renmark we were on our way to Burra but stopped off at Morgan.  My husband said we have to get on the Barge and go across the Murray River (there isn't a bridge).  We have done this before at the same places years ago.
By going across on the Barge we ended up going the wrong way to Burra, well it didn't really matter, we went a very long way for a short cut.  The GPS was helpful at times, this time it kept wanting to send us on dead end roads, or where there wasn't a road.  Thank goodness we didn't take any notice of it as we would have just gone around in circles :)

Morgan has a populations of just under 400 people.

The first roadside parking rest area that I can recall.

After we found our way to Burra, this is some of the scenery. 

The Renmark Area in South Australia.

Cool mornings at Renmark but the days were beautiful with the sun shining warming ones bones.
This is where I first used the washing machine in the caravan, and it was bliss.

The caravan park we stayed in was really wonderful.  A selection of photos I have chosen to view, at times it was difficult to select. 'which one'.

Renmark is on the banks of the Murray River, plenty of houses boats to have a holiday in if one wishes.  It's a rural town 31 meters above sea level.
Just out of Renmark many vineyards and a few mandarins on the trees, ready to be picked.

A few house boats on the right in the distance.

In the town these fountains of a different type.  One can walk all the way around on a footpath with grass on one side and water on the other.
