Renmark and the River Murray
We had left Fleurieu sad because the place was beautiful but excited to start working. Arrived in Waikerie (population 4630), we quickly realized that there is not a lots to do in this small country town, known for its orange fields. We stayed in a nice campground along the river at Ramco Point where we spend an agitated night because of a strong thunderstorm. During the night we needed to move the campervan as we were parked behind a tree and we could see thunderbolts at less than ...
Driving Days
We were away by 6.30am with our first stop at the Ceduna Quarantine. As always these places are deadly serious. Before crossing through the Quarantine all fruit must be peeled, boiled, eaten, chewed, swallowed, digested and excreted.

Soon the road had degraded to a rocky and corrugated dried quagmire. We could only travel at 20km/h which meant that the 30kms of dirt road would take longer than an hour. About 3/4 of the way there we passed some caravanners who ...
Day 25 - Blanchetown to Berri & Lyrup Flats
... likely be able to see houses, farms and people working. Not very relaxing. Besides, it was a bit bare and a tad uninviting - maybe even a bit bogan or booner (couldn't tell for sure). From here we had 60 kms to go before Berri. It seemed longer, possibly due to the extremely straight road. Some parts weren't the most scenic either. We passed Kingston-On-Murray which the tourism literature recommended but it too looked like a bogan's paradise. We drove on.
