Barmera to Hattah - Tuesday 18th August
We tossed up staying here for another night but as the morning dawned grey and cool, we decided to push on. We lingered over breakfast and housekeeping duties and it was well after 11am before we were hitched and ready to go. ironically, as we were about to pull away from our site, the phone rang and it was the caravan park reception checking whether we were leaving or staying another night!
On the road again, we headed east on the Sturt Highway through Renmark and the Dunlop tyre over the State border. Being back in Victoria, and forgetting therefore that we had lost half an hour in time, we pulled into Lake Cullulleraine for lunch, a lot later than normal. Armed with fresh chicken schnitzel rolls, we drove down to the lake shore to have lunch and very picturesque it was too.
On the road again, we headed towards Mildura. I thought we would be able to bypass it but apparently not quite so. It did give us an opportunity to stop at a supermarket for a few items and then we were heading south. At about 4ish, we pulled into the Hattah-Kulkyne National Park and drove to Lake Hattah, where we had booked for a very expensive campsite! However, it was quite beautiful with the lake and lots of redgums. We found a very nice site with views of the lake and our own firepit.
We had a campfire roaring pretty quickly and enjoyed afternoon tea followed by dinner cooked on the campfire.
We put the diesel heater on before bed as it was looking like a cold night, and rugged up with the extra doona. But oh, how peaceful!
