Renmark

Before we head off from Morgan, Bet tries some pre-dawn fishing but the only catch was a small yabby which was returned to the Murray. A stop at Barmera to replace our punctured tyre relieves the background worry of travelling without a spare. Once into Riverland, we stock up on grapes, apples and capsicum at a roadside stall, remaining cognisant of the various border and regional fruit and vegetable quarantines.

Pulling in to the Riverland Caravan park,we are assigned a prime site fronting the Murray River, and soon have new neighbours Kaye and Alan.
