Tomorrow we will be travelling on to Mildura
Renmark & Paringa
Renmark is a lovely little riverside town just inside the SA Border We came a cross a local identity called Frank Turton who is currently running for The Lord Mayors job.Frank is an eccentric C & W singer and spends some months in Daly Waters ( previously acknowledged in an earlier blog) he is also known as The Chook Man !! he has an excellent singing voice an very pleasant to talk to He has spent a lot of time doing his amazing boat up (to be presented very shortly) his house is unique in that he has a Toilet outside his front door !! At the entrance to his garden is a very large Buzz Saw Blade & a HUGE tree stump ( Black Stump) that years ago fell over somewhere along the Murray River Frank was given permission to set it up outside his home and to get it downriver he actually fitted the Stump with an outboard motor !! All in all his story is very interesting pictures of his boat coming soon
