Day 35 - Tuesday 21st February

We left cool Murray Bridge this morning but soon started to warm up and reached 30*. We travelled through many small settlements, Berri, Renmark and onto Mildura where we are staying tonight.
We are still travelling through very dry areas. Murray Bridge has an average annual rainfall of 9 inches, no wonder it is so dry. There are however some pockets of land where there are citrus, grapes, olives, almonds, pistachios and various vegetable crops growing.
This was just one of many citrus and olive orchards right next to each other.





This is the "big orange" but it is a bit deserted these days.




Of course, the Murray River is home to many paddle steamers and houseboats, as well as being popular for all water sports.
The caravan park is on the river here as well, so a nice view of either the river or a vineyard.





These are some of the views around Mildura.













And of course a nice sunset overlooking the Murray taken from the caravan park.
