Mildura

The Paddle Steamer Melbourne leaving the wharf at Mildura. This is opposite the Buronga Caravan Park. Quite enjoyable to sit outside the van watching the River boats passing. By this point the weather was mild enough to be able to sit outside during the day. You can have a fire at this park but oddly only if you are in a group of at least 2 caravans, campers etc. The fire drum and wood are supplied at the park office. Great park with very clean ammenities, nice green lawns, even piped music in the toilets. The Cruiser had its first bath for a while at the free wash area in the park.
The highlight of our stay in Mildura would have been the Sunday Farmers Market that is held every 2nd Sunday on the riverbank. I bought some of the best salami I'd ever tasted and Karen stocked up on veges and fruit. It would without a doubt be the best farmers market we'd been to on our travels.
Whilst in Mildura it is only a short 30k drive to Wentworth, a small but very historic port on the Murray River. Actually its importance lay in the fact that the town is on the confluence of the Murray and the Darling Rivers. Worth visiting in Wentworth is the old Wentworth Jail built in 1879 and pretty much as built. Great little shop attached that sells collectables.

We also went for a drive up to the Perry Sandhills, a geological oddity approx 10 ks out of Wentworth.
