Day 30 (89)

48 Km Overland Corner to Renmark SA
Low of 22 and high of 46, only cooling to 30 degrees at midnight ☀️

The period of extreme heatwave in SA has started 🥵

We were up and on the road at sunrise as we decided to relocate from our beautiful spot on the Murray at Overland Corner in search of power to help us survive a week of 42-48 degree temps
Given it’s a public holiday weekend we had limited choice for power so we’ve done the unthinkable and checked into a caravan park, thankfully they had a few cancellations
Lets hope we survive the heat AND the caravan park 🙏🏻

Home for a few nights (to get us through the heatwave)

🏃 Renmark Parkrun

👍🏻 As we are heading to Renmark we thought we would get there early to do the parkrun and a little activity before the heat kicks in 🏃
👍🏻 Our early start rewarded us with a beautiful sunrise 🌅
👍🏻 Enjoyed great coffee at Arrosto Coffee, Renmark ☕️ and a catch up with people we have recently met through parkrun which was lovely 🥰
👍🏻 Soundfest, a one day music festival at Overland Corner featuring multiple bands from the Riverland across 2 stages - the pub and the quarry. It was soooooo hot but the sprinklers helped to cool us down 🎶
👍🏻 Heaps Good gin tasting brought direct to our door 😜, picked up a great tasting margarita flavoured tequila liquor 🍹
