Renner Springs

We drove on to Renner Springs and set up camp at the roadside caravan park. This is just a one night stopping place and everyone backs in and leaves their vans connected to their vehicles.

There is some sort of spring but the water is murky and green. There is also a 17m swimming pool but it has an unattractive greenish bottom and
wrigglies in the water. Noone was swimming.

I asked the young Englishman who served me what enticed him to be working in a place like this. He said it was to get a second year on his visa. I couldn't help thinking that was akin to blackmail, but the workforce in these remote locations is mostly young Europeans so the policy it is working.
