Day 21 - Waikerie, SA to Swan Hill, Victoria

Today we were heading to Victoria!
We got up early and started towards Berri, SA.  We stopped at Banrock Station Winery for a coffee and scones with quandong jam. 
We then reached Berrie and found 'A special place for Jimmy James', so of course James had to take a photo of himself with the sign!
Berri wasn't a very nice town so we continued on to Renmark for lunch, which was not much nicer, so we headed to Paringa.  We crossed the Murray River and cooked up sausages at the park on the other side.

After lunch we headed on to Swan Hill.  We left South Australia and headed back into Victoria.

The drive to Swan Hill was long and uneventful.  We finally arrived in Swan Hill and it took a long time to find accommodation.  We were going to go to the Swan Hill Pioneer Settlement Sound and Light Show, but it took too long to find somewhere to stay so we missed out unfortunately.
We had dinner in a lovely restaurant though, Spoons on the Riverside, which is situated on the Murray River.  My pork belly was extremely tasty.

Next stop tomorrow, home!
