Stopped in to the Woolshed Brewery near Renmark for lunch.

Then on to find a camping spot, again on the Murray River.  Plan was to set up and walk to the Overland Corner Hotel (in our Pub book) for dinner.  But I nice friendly local down at the rivers edge mentioned that the pub was closing early tonight,  So we went back to the pub and had a beer just before it closed at 4pm.  Go figure…. only night it was closing early and its tonight…

Anyway after a couple of drinks we head back down and find a nice spot on the river… admittedly through a few tight tracks to get there.
