Day 21 - Mutawintji to Mildura 8/10/15

Today is Jacko's Birthday. We all said happy birthday to him and slowly packed up and set off at about 8:00. When we started driving it was the time of morning for kangaroos to be out and about eating. Luckily we didn't hit any but there were some very close calls. There were thousands of them jumping out in front of the car or sitting on the side of the road. We finally reached Broken Hill without hitting anything and had a break. We stopped at the shops to get a couple of supplies and brought a cake for Jacko. We then drive to the visitors centre and had some Gloria Jeans for morning tea and looked in the suvinear shop. We then set off again to Mildura. We didn't stop again until we reached Mildura and had set up in the caravan park. It was a really nice caravan park, the grass was green (which we hadn't seen in 3 weeks), the pool was cool and the toilets were the best. They were clean and the showers were the best we had all trip, they also had in the soap dispenser, soap and lotion. It was really nice. We set up on the Murray River and us kids went in the pool for a bit before we got out and got ready for dinner. We had a BBQ for dinner in the camp kitchen and saw the first T.V in 3 weeks. It was quite strange actually. When all 3 families had finished eating dinner we gave Jacko his prezzies and did cake. We all sang happy birthday and then sat around the Jacko's tent for the rest of the night.
