We could not escape the rain entirely, soon after arriving in Wentworth during a walk around town the heavens opened and we were lucky not to be thoroughly soaked. We had set-up in the Willowbend Caravan Park right on the banks of the Darling River and decided to stay 2 nights. Wentworth is situated where the Murray and Darling rivers meet. These two rivers are, of course, two of the most important, and at times controversial, in the country. During our stay we visited some of the more well known tourist sites as well as a trip across the Murray to the towns of Mildura and Red Cliffs in Victoria.
The pack-up process in Wentworth was hampered by steady rain and as we departed we could see we were in for a wet drive. Travelling west toward the South Australian border the rain became heavier and a late morning stop in Renmark saw us dodging downpours and puddles. With the weather being so dismal and not at all suitable for sight-seeing we continued on to the small historical mining town of Burra. It would seem that we took the rain with us making our set-up in the caravan park rather unpleasant.
