Lake Victoria
On our drive back we had a look at lake Victoria the Photo really does not do the place justice it is a very nice area there is free camping allowed and the max stay is 6 weeks so the sign said would not take my bus in there from the Renmark end as it very ruff would from the New South Wales end Wentworth as the dirt road was not as ruff in world war two they use to train pilots over the lake one crashed killing the pilot and co-pilot and they never found the plane or bodies
Big Lizzie
The Red Cliff area was cleared of Mallee scrub with the help of Big Lizzie she came to the area in 1920 this 45 ton tractor witch was 34feet in length 11feet wide 18 feet high a 60 hp single bore engine running on crude oil engine weight of 8 tons normal travel speed 1 mph turning radius 200 feet
