Mildura here we come -June 22nd 2018

Having purchased Ken the Kayak he needed a launch. Happily his arrival in our family coincided with a planned trip to Mildura, so we took him with us.

We needed to figure out how to get him on to the roof of the Prado, and this meant removing the second spare tyre, so we are hoping not to have bad tyre experiences this trip.




We had a later departure than planned (what's new?) due to the changes to the configuration on the roof, but still managed to be in Tailem Bend in time to catch the pasties at the bakery there and to find the sheep in the local park. I love that the "animal" population keeps on increasing in the main street of Tailem Bend and I love that the local kids get a look in on the fun and that they share it with all the passers by.



We took a road less travelled to take us up to the Riverland via Loxton (via Karoonda) . We have a couple of friends there who were long overdue for a visit and catch up.  Thanks for the afternoon tea, stimulating conversation and lovely views over your place Sandi and Brett.

Leaving on sunset meant that we were treated to tantalising views of the stunning bright sunset over still water as we headed on to Mildura. No safe pull over spot was offering, so we made do with a shot in the rear vision mirror , and saving the memory for later.




We arrived safely in Mildura well after dark, but with no scary happenings on the way involving wildlife. This made us very happy.  We used the "late check in" facility to grab -out room key from the locked box and found our home for the next week just sitting and waiting for us.  We have a spa!!
Dropped into bed after our day of travelling.
