While packing up to leave Pt Augusta we had a visitor come and look us over.

 INTERESTING FELLOW

ALMOST TAME

Here are a few more wild flowers from the gardens at Pt Augusta.

 DAISYS

A PIECE OF ART FROM THE GARDENS

SEEING IT WAS OUR ANNIVERSARY WE HAVE TO BE IN A SHOT

RENMARK,.

We made our next camp about 5.00pm and with no fruit and or vegetables we had biscuits with vegemite and baked beans for dinner. Notices along the highway wanted all fruit and veggies to be put in a bin so we had eaten our fruit before we reached the fruit fly line and had no veggies to dump.

Not a bad nights sleep and we were up early to check emails and have breakfast before going to have a look at the town.

We can get discounted meals at the pub and at the Renmark Club due to staying at the Big Four Park. So we will try one tonight Monday..

Had a look at hiring one of the local houseboats but some celebrity has got it booked out for now so we missed out. Had a look on board though and it looks flash.

GOOD  NAME

ALL CONVENIENCES

INSPECTION LOOKED OK.

FRESH BREAKFAST DAILY

The chooks come with the boat so you get fresh eggs each morning. Would have been a change from cereal and a cuppa. But you can't have it all.

HERE'S THE BIG FELLOW

Looked at a couple of shops and got some nuts etc for back home and then went to the corner cafe for a cuppa. Scones with Jam and cream and a slice of orange poppyseed cake washed down with a latte and cuppa. Should have seen the size of the scones, half the size of a house brick........well not quite, but they were large, bigger than mine when I make them. And yummy.

A bit more walking and looking around and it was then lunch time. Back to the corner shop and this time it was only toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches with a cuppa.

With lunch out of the way it was back to camp for some sitting in the sun and reading and a little fishing.

FISHING INSPECTORS

 The local birdlife came around for a check on licences and checking the number of hooks per line. 3 or four pelicans and about 6 or so ducks of various breeds.

Very tame birds. One of the park staff spotted a pelican with some fishing line caught in his wing but he eluded being caught and flew off before I could see what bait he was using as mine was not getting anywhere.


Tomorrow is Wednesday and the day we leave here and head back to Victoria and home.   . Not sure if we will make all the way or not but will have a go at it. Depends on traffic and roads etc.
