I am not entirely certain, but I think P.S. stands for Paddle Steamer. In any case, the PS Industry was moored right in front of the riverfront bordering the main stretch of Renmark. We made our way into to town for our 10:00 booking for free internet at the Renmark library... As you can tell, I wasn't able to catch up on blog postings.
At about 11:00, we wandered back to where the PS Industry was moored to look around the exhibitions, tour the Industry, and enjoy the general hubbub surrounding the festivities.
In the afternoon, I shopped a bit more in Target (the horror... it is now the only place I shop in besides Grocery stores and Priceline Pharmacy) while Dirk read his paper in the coffee shop. Then we bought groceries to get to the next town (only a short paddle away to Berri) and returned to the caravan park where we cooked dinner in the camp kitchen next to a large group celebrating a birthday.
Note: As we go along the river, Dirk has been tearing pages out of the map book and using them to light fires... it also marks our passage as he burns (of course) only those pages of river map which we have already covered. Today was significant as he discarded the last page in the book. Guess we need a new book now to get us through the final stretch: Renmark to Goolwa.
