August 2nd: we originally intended to go to Port Pirie to Northern caravans to get some work done on a number of issues with the van, BUT when we rang them, they said that their waiting list for rep was 2 months long and they couldn’t put us in front of people who had been waiting 2 months, but could spare us a few minutes some time on Monday! We decided that this really wasn’t worth pursuing!  We therefore decided to push on to Renmark. We went to the van park right on the Murray where we had stayed at the beginning of our trip. Instead of Big 4 it was not owned by G’Day Discovery Parks. We got a drive through site right hear the river. We had a lovely walk along the river as the sun was setting. 

We had an omelette for dinner, cooked inside on the induction hot plate- great for cold nights rather than cooking outside. We had a bottle of 42 degrees South Pinot Noir to accompany it. We decided that an extra night here tomorrow night would be very restful, so that is what we will do.
