Barmera South Australia

Wednesday 23 March - We set off early today as we had a lot of kilometres ahead of us today as we changed plans to arrive in Mildura today. But just outside of Renmark we received a call from a friend and need to go back to Adelaide to do some business, so we found a caravan park at Barmera on Lake Bonney which would probably be quite spectacular if that bloody wind wasn't howling at a rate of knots. I know I sound like a broken record, but I have never encountered so much wind as we have in South Australia, we just can't get away from it. To make matters worse it has chilled up again today I think we reached 18° at one stage.
We went for a drive into Renmark, the town isn't as big as I thought it would be. We discovered quite a few large houseboats moored in the Murray River and took a couple of photos then headed back going through Berri where they make the orange juices etc. We didn't bother going through the factory as we wanted to get back to have a rest as we have a late trip into Adelaide tonight and then hopefully head off in the morning to Mildura.
