Mildura madness

We'd got a tip off that the Mildura country music festival was in town, so not a camping spot was to be found. We did infact find possibly the last camping spot, however it's far from flash. Cold showers, blocked fetid drains, and the backpacker hostel full of single local men - it doesn't really have a happy holiday feel. Never mind it's only for 3 nights!

Today we did the essential paddle boat ride up and down The Murray - its a relaxing hypnotic way to travel - it would be fun to hire a house boat at some stage! Haduks bakery won hands down for a spot of lunch (2nd day running). Sumo salad got my business though (Brooke looked at the options and said 'nothing for kids here'). I disagree but when the alternative is a meringue bug there is no competition

Orange world completed our afternoon - this was the quirkiest family appropriate tour I've ever done! Brian sang as a song about Mildura and recited his life story in verse! We learned heaps about oranges and other citrus - where else might you learn about the 3 p's of growing citrus - peel, poo and pee? Orange world is a must see!

Quiet night - popped the heater on in the tent - last night at 2 am it was 30! Not so tonight.
