4 days ahead of schedule
A long, but interesting morning paddle into Mildura. Lots of activity on the river with high speed skiers, a multitude of houseboats and fancy riverfront houses to gawk at. Actually staying in the caravan park at Buronga which is the twin town of Mildura hence involving a half hour walk into Mildura across the bridge. Good to be exercising some different muscles!
Sadly the famed Mildura restaurant Stefanos is closed Sunday, but I doubt I would have gained entry anyway in my shorts and thongs. Having a duck and mushroom pasta at the Grand Hotel instead. Mildura does seem to have a pleasant country feel about it despite its size.
Rest day tomorrow, then the long stretch into Renmark.
