Day 30 - Berri

A much better nights sleep for all last night! Headed off to Renmark this morning - a nice little town located right on the banks of the Murray River. Went for a walk along the paved area running from the visitor information centre to the top end of town. Was great just to be able to walk along and enjoy the view.

Through the visitor information doors you can access PS Industry and have a wander around her. So the kids enjoyed looking at the paddlesteamer - some of the fun areas like the steering wheel were out of bounds but it was good just to look about. The 'Industry' only runs once a month to get her old steam boiler going!

Back into town to grab some bread rolls to go with our picnic lunch at the Monash Adventure Park. A great kids playground with some different things for them to try their skills out on.

Zac very impressively and with Darrin's help walked the tightrope - about 15 m. Very proud of him!!! :-)



Ethan climbed the tall crooked tower (with Darrin's help) and waved to us from his perch at the top.


Gemma just had a blast running around and trying out all the slides multiple times.

Home for nap time (Ethan just did hand stands in his bed for an hour!!!????) and when they awoke we set off to the Berri Direct Factory - we thought that maybe this would have been a little more like the SPC factory in Shepperton and had some items at very good prices, however much of it was equal to supermarket prices so we found a few little things to try and left it at that.
Back at the van park you can hire two seater bikes for 30 minutes - we had seen them on our first day here and the kids asked if we could have a go. As they were not too expensive we hired one for thirty minutes and took turns in taking each of the kids for a ride around the park. Lots of fun but hard work too.
Dinner done and we got some packing up done ready to move on tomorrow. Then off for a walk along the banks of the Murray at sunset.......our last night in South Australia.
