So upon hearing some people talk at work about their travels to Mildura, i figure it would be a nice drive and stay for a few days.
The woman tells me 5 hours would be enough to get to Mildura, and Renmark is also a fabulous place to visit.

I think its time for Mini Road trip.

Anyone got suggestions?

Preferably a smaller town/city.
Melbourne can go get farked.
Too hectic. :lol:

So yeah... anyone got any thoughts?


Edit: How about Robe?

Thats a very nice town i've heard.

you could go up the Eyre peninsula, i dont know why but it would be fun driving through Port Augusta and Whyala...not.

All the towns I know allong the Yorke Peninsula are from fishing trips and there only good if you're into fishing and stuff - towns like Moonta Wallaroo and Port Braughton.

I recon yer Renmark is a cool town allong the river etc. good driving through there.
