to the border and back again

took a drive up to the north border town of mildura. it was a nice drive - except for ivy's flat tyre. first one i've had with her so i guess i can't complain too much. mildura is larger than i imagined, and kind of reminded me of bunbury/ mandurah in w.a. - though of course they're beach towns and mildura is situated by the "mighty" murray river. i explored the town and some of the smaller communities nearby. went to the sunday market at red cliffs and also drove across the border to n.s.w. didn't even need a visa. ha!

the below photos are from the mungo national park - it's about an hours drive north from mildura, most of it off-road. i did think that my little car might shake herself apart at some stages of the drive, but she made it through.
she was parked up against all these big 4wds - the little car that could.
i took the trip because i was looking for a location to set a tv series that i'm developing, but it's not what i imagined. pretty amazing but not what i've got in my head. i see the towns that i used to drive through in w.a. so maybe i'll just use one of those for a setting.
