After coming off the Nullabor we checked into our favourite caravan park in Ceduna for a couple of days to wash the dirt off but then Himself realised that it was coming up to Bathurst 500 weekend so as we had good television reception we stayed a few days extra so that he could have his annual vroom vroom fest! I played a lot of computer games for the two days!
Then we moved on to Port Augusta for one night and from there we motored across country to Mildura. Well actually we stay in a park just over the Mighty Murray in a place called Buronga but we have discovered that not many people have heard of Buronga whereas everyone knows Mildura. The only difference is which bank of the river you are on!
Yesterday Himself took me to lunch at the Mildura Workingman's Club. Nice place. Apparently they built a T shaped bar in 1938 that was believed to be the longest bar in the state. It was 91 metres long around the centre line of the service surface and had 32 beer taps. That bar was removed in 1995 during renovations to add poker machines. What a shame a piece of history was destroyed for a few extra poker machines!
Today it is 37 C.....wtg Mildura!
Nice and warm, had to put the air conditioner on and it is now after 6pm and it is still 37 C.
Will stay a while here and recharge the batteries. I hear tell that the local Mildura show started today. If the weather improves a bit we may go take a look.
