We left Nhill at 9 am and stopped at Bordertown in South Australia for breakfast.
Approaching the border we saw signs alerting us to bins in which to place any fresh fruit or vegetables that were not allowed in South Australia. We did not notice any signs designating the border on the trip to South Australia though we did notice a Welcome to Victoria sign on the side of the road when we returned.
Bordertown is 20 kilometres west of the border between Victoria and South Australia. Like many of the towns in this area large silos are near the railway station.
We had breakfast at the Morning Loaf Bakery.
Robin had an egg and bacon roll for breakfast while I ate a ham croissant. This was another bakery / cafe with lots of character.
In this case, the former police station building was part of the interior of the bakery. The toilet block out the back of the bakery continued the prison theme.
Nearby was a park with a small lake.
Back in the car, we continued along the Western Highway to Murray Bridge where we went for a walk along the banks of the river.
A plaque commemorating when Captain Charles Sturt rowed a whale boat along the river in 1830 is on the river bank.
It was a hot day and the temperature had reached 40 degrees by 12.30 when we were at Murray Bridge. We then continued our journey to Tanunda in the Barossa Valley, arriving mid-afternoon.
