Another Aussie at Brim.
These Silos are commonplace in the Mallee, many are now not used, and there are several more looking to be "muralised" in the near future. The Mallee is a great part of Aussie. Pickles. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

Day 3,
We snuck out through the top of Sunset NP and onto Loxton to buy fruit and veggies now we are inside the Fruit Fly Exclusion zone. We have continued to Kingston On The Murray and we have had an issue that has halted foward progression. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge We decided to stop at Banrock Station, an award wining winery and are awaiting lunch to be served. They have spent a quite few dollars on developing a wet land, wining environmental awards for the work. Cheers, Kyle. |

The issue was the ladies with us hit the samples before lunch was ordered.
With another bottle comsumed over the meal we had a peace full drive to camp after stoping at an RSL museum in Waikerie. The morning at camp and the ferry ride across the river... Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Cheers, Kyle. |
