The trip through Adelaide was a pain in a certain part of my anatomy and took an hour. Just as well I do not have to do this on a weekly basis. Along the way we came through a bush fire in its early stages. This unfortunately developed into a major grass fire that closed the road and also claimed the life of a fire-fighter. Soo sad!

This place (Mungo) is World Heritage listed as being the oldest burial place of modern human man outside Africa. Mungo man walked the shores of Mungo Lake before man roamed Europe. The remains of several skeletons have been radio carbon dated at 41000 years ago. This includes the now famous Mungo Man and Mungo Lady. It was special for me to have our aboriginal tour guide speak to us about the customs and survival skills of his ancestors. Some of these skills and practises have survived to this day and had been passed on from one generation to the next. The trip back to Mildura happened faster that I had expected.

Back in Mildura, after mucking about at and in the river we decided to find some pizza in town. Boy did we find a great pizza place. At the Grand Hotel they have the Pizza Café that simply makes the best pizza I have eaten for many a year. They have a few great local brews as well.
