Well Hi Everyone,
Continueing on our journey around Australia. At the present we are heading towards Mildura, and have stopped at Berri using this as a base, so we can travell out to the out lining settlements. And one of these place was Renmark. A place which was once a veritable wasteland, now water is piped from the Murray River to irrigate the farms. So now a thriving area with orange orchards and winerys.
It also has a beautiful Rose gardens where you can wonder through out the gardens then stop to have a lovely cuppa later, with cake.

Look at these beautiful blooms, we were there at the right time to see all the roses in full bloom.  This one at the bottom with its blood red colouring and flicks of white.

This lovely old paddle steamer on the Murray river

Views from the cliffs at Waikerie again of the Murray River

 Views from Paringa cliffs another spot to see this lovely river.
Below the lovely white daisies growing wild just makes a great photo, But as usual photos just do not do justice to all the beautiful spots that we have seen.
Bob and I also soy Candles and has we came into Waikerie we spotted the sign for markets on this weekend so we found out who we needed to see and went along next day to this dealership. There would have been about 10 stall holders inside. What they do is move out the cars to make room for the market. Well we had a great time as the owner was outside telling everyone to come inside to see our candles, it was well recieved and we ended up teaching his wife how to make them herself. Waikerie is Malle scrub country with alot of wineries. It also became and instant town when the government located 281 people from Adelaide.

 It is a great spot for fishing,boating and cliff walking. More sights of the Murray River.
A great holiday desternation.

 Next stop Mildura and a trip out to Mungo National Park.
We are still enjoying our travells and feel we should have done it years ago.
So Bye for now.
