A memory of this journey was sitting in the car by the roadside eating about 2kgs oranges so we wouldn't have to bin them before we reached the border. Guess what? quarantine check station was closed. We joked "No officer, no oranges here" we stunk of oranges. Buronga Family Park was such an excellent find - 23 acres, by the Murray River - playground,tennis court,farm animals, park lit up with fairy lights at night, great camp kitchen. We really loved it here. We walked down to the weir and saw all the paddle steamer boats and lots of hungry pelicans. We went to Woodsies gem shop. He had every precious stone you could imagine. The boys took their collections in and with great interest he named the stones and encouraged the boys to keep digging. We paired off and went through a hedge maze. Christopher and Jamie won. The rest of us got so frustrated, we cheated and went through the no entry doors, otherwise we would have been in their until dark. Thomas, Matty, Chrissy and Riley let me off cooking for the night and whipped up fantastic pizzas, drawing the attention of many of the campers. Christopher and Riley were in awe of this square box that sat on the fridge. Ah... the television, but we have not missed it one bit.
