Lots of rain overnight in Goolgowi but we woke to a pretty sunrise.
The mornings drive took us across the Hay Plain which is notoriously flat.
Last time we travelled this way, on the way back from Western Australia there had been a lot of rain and in places water lapped at the road.
Not today!
Although it wasn't as dry as it has been.
The number of trucks on the road is noticeably huge!
May hay trucks heading east. From? Western Australia?
Morning tea and lunch: rest areas on the Sturt Highway.
Big thunderstorms around Balranald but we missed the worst of them.
There is a quarantine checkpoint near the Victoria/South Australia border and they are very strict.
I had cooked and frozen our remaining onions, capsicum and squeezed and frozen lemon juice, eaten all the rest of the fruit.
This is to prevent to transmission of fruit fly into South Australia.
They went into the caravan to check that we weren't hiding any forbidden fruits and veggies.
We topped up our shopping in Renmark and also gained half an hour of time!
Got to camp at Lake Bonney at 4pm. Camped right on the edge of the lake. There are 3 other caravans here and a car.
We remembered that we had been here before - just stopped for lunch and a guy in a caravan wandered over and we couldn't get rid of him!
It is quite windy and the water is lapping against the shore.
