Paringa to Waikerie Day 0

Joe had an 8.45 am appointment with the prosthodontist so departure wasn’t until 9.30 am. After Simon arrived we loaded the kayaks on the car and collected coffee in Carnegie and were on our way

We shared the driving to Renmark stopping only for nature breaks and food.  We arrived at Riverbend Caravan Park Paringa around 5.30 pm and booked in. It was about 35 degrees when we set up our tents and had a quick drive around Renmark and then headed to the Paringa Hotel for dinner. Simon had garlic prawns and rice while Joe had the vegetarian pasta - all good.

After dinner we explored the caravan park river bank for a launching spot. In the end we opted for the same spot Joe landed in November on the previous leg. We did look at the swimming “lagoon” but decided against it.

Back to our tents for an early night.

Before and after loading our  gear into the kayaks. How does it all fit?
