It was only 5 degrees on Thursday morning at Boundary Bend!
Mildura is 130 km further along the river but so so much warmer.
Daytime temperatures here are around the 29 degree mark, a big improvement.
Mildura is a bigger town than we had thought it might be. The City Centre is largish but still has that country town feel to it. It has all the usual chain stores and franchises so there is certainly plenty of choice available.
I am finding their street naming system a bit twisted but after living in a town where no two houses had the same number I suppose I should not find fault with a town that simply numbered its major streets. Mildura has First Street, Second Street etc. To find something the other day we were instructed to proceed to Fifteenth Street and turn left at the roundabout! Next day I was told to go back to Eighth Street for a hairdressers. This is all very well and simple, but only if you know which damn street you are on or in to begin with or which side of town the system starts!
Yesterday Himself went out to Red Cliffs to look at a machine. I stayed home and did the washing.
