The Murray River


The Murray River looks great at the moment as it is pretty full of water due to rain in the catchment areas, and it is flowing freely. The weirs are full and water is being released into the river from them, which is also increasing its flow. We camped on the banks at Renmark in South Australia and Buronga in NSW. Buronga is on the north bank from Mildura, Victoria. They are both very pleasant places and we enjoyed walking along the river banks and watching the river traffic. We did the Art Deco walk in Mildura and admired their splendid buildings. We also got caught in the most ferocious storm that Alan and I have encountered in the camper trailer ever! The wind blew us about and we had to secure the annex with two and sometimes three ropes on each pole! Then it started raining - over 70 mls overnight. We stayed dry inside though we had a river flowing under the wheels.
