The Murray River
... a few interesting places yet to visit.
We stopped for lunch at a lake just outside Mildura (the town we were headed to for our next stop); Lake Cullulleraine has a lovely grassy picnic area so we got the camping chairs out of the boot and made ourselves comfortable for enjoying the scenery.
