Renmark, SA
Renmark was a 40 minute drive from where we were staying, and a sizeable town in the area. It also promised us cold brew filter coffee, a craft brewery, views of the Murray River, and another part of the Murray River National Park to walk in.
We started our day in Renmark with a walk in Paringa Paddock (part of the National Park), and to be honest it was a little underwhelming. Perhaps we were ‘Murrayed out’. It didn’t help that the signposting was terrible, the trails were mostly roads, and that we came across a road blocked by water and had to make a detour.
Next stop was the town itself, which was also underwhelming! It was a bit too touristy for our liking – and the cold brew coffee was only average. Yes, WE ARE HARD TO PLEASE!
Things got better at the Woolshed Brewery, which was set on the banks of the Murray and had delicious beers. On the way back we stopped at Heading Cliffs lookout – also known as Murtho Forest Lookout – which had some of the best views of the Murray we had seen.
