Great quarantine station! Plenty of cool architecture and friendly staff. There are too few places…read morelike this in Australia, where motorists can make new friends while waiting for their turn to be checked for fruit and vegetables. For entertainment Triple J radio can be picked up on the FM band, or if you're lucky you'll find a footy, frisbee or even a tennis ball somewhere in your car! Have some fun, others are sure to join in. Just past the inspection point there's a service station, if you are lucky enough to be a passenger stroll down ahead of the cars and grab a drink. One very important tip: don't litter! There are bins provided for any fruit you might have in your car, use them! Or alternatively eat your fruit, it's heaps good for you. And remember, there really is no point trying to smuggle fruit, on the South Australian side fruit is cheaper, of higher quality and is readily available from the many roadside stalls of the Riverland.

A bit of a drive out of Renmark on a scenic dirt road, we came upon this quaint little brewery…read more Tons of cars in the park meant it was a popular place. It is right on the river and the woolshed is still there but holds lots of pictures and memorabilia. Prices were quite good and we only tried the Alcoholic Lemonade (8.1%!!) and it was very tart but I liked it. You could taste the grapes in it - very unusual and refreshing The scenery was to die for - we could see a number of houseboats and dinghies moored right on the river side, and it was a short walk up to the brewery. Families, couples and mates were all outside in the sunshine. It was gorgeous. It was also cool that you could buy local produce (cheese, crackers, meat etc) and they make up a platter for you to enjoy. Or you can even bring your own food - they wont judge A nice spot to relax at - a little off the beaten track but totally worth it!
