From our riverside campsite opposite the Mildura Wharf we could see the Paddle Steamers come and go throughout the day. We did go on the PS Melbourne for a relaxing two hour cruise down through Mildura's Lock 11 (and return) . It was so relaxing Dave fell asleep!

http://hatchaholiday.com/millstream/ We didn't know it but our first flat tyre on our Pilbara Adventure was just before Python Pool. It was a hot 41 degrees and the jack was located underneath some of our camping stuff. While the tyre was being changed I took some photos  of the area. Tyre fixed and we got on our way and not far along the road we came across Python Pool. A welcoming and magnificent place to cool down!!

The great thing about going on a tour when it's feeding time you actually get to see the birds and at the same time learn about them. http://hatchaholiday.com/breakfast-wi... We saw all sorts of birds including a male and female cassowary. Cassowaries are magnificent prehistoric colourful emu sized birds ( we have heard them described else ware as "emus in drag". we spent a couple of hours following the tour then had a look at the wallabies an kangaroos.

Wilpena Pound, in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia was our destination for our first camping trip by ourselves. We drove to Pinneroo and stayed one night, then to Wilpena Pound for 4 nights, and back via Hahndorf for 2 nights and Mount Gambier for 2 nights. The weather was very hot most days with a rainy day at the start and end of our trip. We worked out when the weather is extreme when you are camping in a tent its not really an issue if you can get in your air-conditioned car and explore the countryside!
