We had a good days travel yesterday. We had a look around Renmark and out-lying farms. Lots of grape and citrus orchids, between Renmark and Berri, it was very nice driving around the vineyards. They are all losing their leaves and will be in need of pruning soon. Leaving that area, we drove into some very dry mallee sheep country, lots of ‘Salt Bush’ about but there doesn’t seem to be much of any other kind of feed.
Couldn’t get over how the countryside changed as we came into the ranges, from Burra and all the way to Hallett. It is good sheep country there. We stayed the night at Hallett, camped on a nice green patch of grass, right opposite the “Wild Dog” Pub. We had a drink and dinner at the pub, then went to bed about 8:30pm again as it was soooo cold (again).We packed up and left Hallett by 8:45am, arrived at Peterborough and did some fresh veggie shopping, then had a coffee at a quaint little coffee shop. Peterborough is a great town, very friendly locals and lots of tourists travelling through. The coffee shop was very busy, all travellers...
Arrived at Leigh Creek about 3:30pm, booked into the caravan park, need to do some washing... clothes and bodies. Having a lazy day tomorrow to w
ait for Helen & Daryl to catch up to us, they are at Burra tonight. The park has a lot of campers similar to ours in it, not sure where they are all heading. Haven’t got to chat with any of them of them as yet. This is the Aroona Dam at Leigh Creek...Paid $1.90 for fuel at Hawker today.

Hi, raining cats and dogs here. We have had inches overnight, so heavy I haven't let the dogs off yet at 11 a.m.! Maybe the wind will blow them off the chain! Very wild and woolly. Diesel is $1.90 here too, so don't feel special will you!!! Have you met up with Helen yet? Have fun. Love Sis
