Alive and well

I am back again at McDonalds..........contrary to some opinions we have been having a g-r-e-a-t time doing a bit of free wheeling or should I say camping or maybe both............. We found a lovely spot right next to the Murray River near Barooga, you may have to check the atlas for that one. The first night it bucketed down with 125mls rain and I really thought we would be stranded on an island when I looked out the door. Lucky for Keith we weren't although he liked the prospect of being stranded on a deserted island, I on the other hand thought differently. It was very busy on the river on Saturday with boats of all sorts.

We ended up staying three nights as Keith has a fascination with the Murray, with most rivers actually. We are off to find another lovely camp spot beside the river this afternoon. Last night we were civilised and stayed in a caravan park in Echuca. This is a lovely spot and did the tourist things this morning, the paddlesteamer ride up the Murray and visited the Holden museum.

Sorry no photos again as I left my camera card in the bus. Any requests for photos.............I know Tania is wanting photos of plaques, can't imagine why.

  1. The Murray is a fantastic river. We have seen many beautiful spots. Lex (lloyd's sister) and Rod live on a beautiful part in SA. Sam is going to the ski boat races at Euchuca this week end. They have skiers on the back and race on the river. Apparantely it's huge.
    Sounds as if you are having a ball.
