But first things 'fist' (as the saying goes).
First we needed to check out the relatively unusual accommodation facilities at 'Lake Tyrrell Accommodation'. Viz;
Next, we made our way to the Sea Lake silos to check out the local "silo art'.
Then, at last, to Lake Tyrrell. The sun was shining brightly and the early morning breeze was reminiscent of brass monkeys. (There is apparently no truth in the story that the expression came from the Royal Navy's preference for stacking lead cannon balls in pyramids on brass trolleys known as "monkeys" and that the balls would fall off because of the differing coefficients of expansion of brass and lead.)
Alas, the lake did not appear to the Prop to be any more pinkish than it was the night before!
Passed around Mildura travelling on some unusually named roads ( e.g., Twentyfist Street and Paschendale Road) due to our GPS having calculated that it would save 6% of fuel.
We then made our way to Renmark but not before Mrs P was threatened with legal proceedings by an over-officious South Australian quarantine official after Mrs P volunteered that we were in posession of a single banana - which the government sponsored sign 3 kilometres before did not distinctly make clear was a prohibited import. We will be informed by e-mail whether or not we are to be prosecuted!
Arrived in Renmark half an hour before we thought we had, due to to the 30 minute time difference by which time the temperature had risen to a very pleasant 20 degrees celsius. Time for some sightseeing - but no punts yet seen.

‘Granary Graffiti’ I think you’ll find is the correct term.
The term "Granary Graffiti" may sacrifice literal accuracy in favour of pleasant alliteration
I was bitterly disappointed to arrive at Leconfield Coonawarra at its advertised opening time only to find it closed!
