Mid July we said goodbye to Relle, La & Leyla amongst all their comings and goings (always sad to leave them behind) to join the Pietsch's, Krause's and Funke's on our House boat holiday. We had been hanging out for this blissful week of cruisin' the river with good company, plenty of good food, the odd ale or two and some sunshine
.
On our way to board the boat we stopped in to catch up with the Heiny 5 at the Renmark Caravan Park. We had a lovely lunch with them and then off we went to load up the houseboat. Nat, Julz and crew came along after going and getting a couple of essential items for Pa that he had forgotten. They joined us for a couple of hours before we set off up stream.

We pulled up at an old campsite from a previous trip and enjoyed the sunshine

The scenery is spectacular
The awesome foursome
Just chillin'
Loved all the camp fires we had each night
Beautiful sunsets
We called into Wompinni Station. They are a very enthusiastic family bringing the station back to life after so many years of neglect. They have cabins and a camp and caravan park for visitors along with food to go. Just phone in your order and they aim to please. Plenty to see and do.

We ran out of fuel! Had to tie ourselves to a tree to stop us floating on down stream.
The boss man had to come to our rescue with some more fuel. Not that we were very worried, it just prolonged our trip.
Thanks for the wonderful week of relaxation and fun.
