Hi ho hi ho, it’s off to Mildura we go


What another lovely day to pack up and move on.  We did our usual I pack up the inside whilst Jason supervises the kids and then roles are reversed so Jason can pack up the outside of the van.  It does work really well.  Hamish had made a few more friends at this park but luckily they all were also moving on today so they all played happily whilst everyone packed up and we all went on our way.

We only had a short 140km drive today and it was a nice leisurely day.  We arrived at Mildura and went to our first pick caravan park, but it wasn’t for us.  It was no really on the river front (like advertised) and just not what we expected.  So we moved to one more in town that had a higher rating.  It is a lovely little park and we are very glad we made the choice.  We slowly set up and then decided to have an ice cream since it was so hot.

Then we went for a drive to check out the town.  Jason was totally blown away by the sheer number of beautiful grass tennis courts they had down on the river.  Hamish saw the size of the playground and was equally impressed.  Needless to say we had to stop for Hamish to have a play.  It was so nice and relaxing on the riverbank and it was topped off with a nice cool breeze.  We then just went for a drive down the main street before returning back to the van for afternoon drinks!

Our wine cellar is running low again so I guess we had better restock it J.  Though job that one!  Hamish made friends with a family in the park (who are unfortunately leaving tomorrow).  They are on holidays but have a massive bus that they have converted (washing machine and all) which nicely fits them and their four kids.   We just had a lazy dinner before walking across to the shopping centre for some dessert.

We are really looking forward to checking out this area more over the next few days.
