First stop was breakfast at Calder Park McDonalds, all good holidays start with a Maccas brekkie.
We stopped for a quick stretch of the legs in Charlton and found a giant metal fish, some might remember the giant fishes lining the Yarra River during the Commonwealth Games back in 2006.....I always wondered where the fish went and now we know.
Then we drove for about 4 hours before stopping again at Ouyen for some morning tea. After eating some very yummy ANZAC biscuits we made our way back on the road again for some more of our journey.
At about 12:30 we stopped at Cullulleraine for some lunch with some people we met up with who are going on the trip as well Steve & Nadia. We had lunch which were just some bread rolls and then we drove the rest of today's drive to Renmark.
When we crossed the boarder it was about 1:20 Melbourne time and then when we crossed all the clocks suddenly changed to 12:50. A few minutes after we crossed the boarder we got stopped at a quarantine to make sure that we don't have any fruit with us. The man just looked in our fridge and then we were off again.
We got to the Renmark Big 4 Caravan Park not long after that where we met up with Lynda & Tayla. We set up and our site isn't far from the edge of the Murray River. It looks beautiful! It was a warm afternoon so we settled in for a couple of drinks to get to know everyone.
Night fall brought us another family, Craig & Co. travelling up for us to meet & a couple more drinks were had, well something had to warm us up
Tomorrow we will be driving from Renmark to Leigh Creek. We will put another update then.
Apologies for no photos, having some issues getting the photos off the iPad onto the blog.

Interesting Fact for the Day: • Renmark takes its name from an Aboriginal word meaning “Red Mud”.
