Mildura - Murray River – NSW and VIC

We decided to keep on the move heading south, following the Darling River to Wentworth to see where the Darling meets the Murray River. With the breaking of the drought and all the resulting rain it was great to see the two biggest rivers in Australia so full of water. That night we camped on the banks of the Murray River just out of the town of Mildura.

While here we discovered we had our first puncture of the trip and as a result Aidan and Cody got a lesson on how to plug a hole in a tyre. We are pretty impressed with getting only one puncture after all the kilometres and dirt road we have travelled to date!

Aidan, Cody and Jaime also thought that they were pretty cool when they swam all the way to Victoria from NSW! That is they swam across to the opposite bank of the Murray River!
