Day 3 Thursday 27th Gol Gol, Exciting morning at the bridge

As we were packing up to leave the Riverbend Caravan Park, we (I) was excited to see a houseboat waiting to go under the Paringa bridge which meant that a section of it would have to rise, for the houseboat to go through.  Of course we were not in any hurry and so stayed and watched this event! From Renmark, we had an easy drive to Gol Gol. Gol Gol is a small town on the Murray, in NSW. It is very close to Mildura and seems more like an outer suburb of Mildura. We are booked into the Rivergardens Holiday Park, another beautiful caravan park, with river frontage. After settling in and some lunch, we visited Mildura to purchase fuel and check out the golf course which Rob is hoping to play on tomorrow. The course is almost level with our caravan park on the opposite side of the river. This golf course just happened to be on the same road that led to the main Mildura Cemetery so we had a quick look and I might head there tomorrow while Rob is golfing. Returning to the van, I decided I should make the most of the beautiful weather and went for a lovely kayak. I spent a couple of hours, enjoying the peaceful river and birds. I didn’t encounter one other person on the river!
