The Murray River.

The weather had started to improve so we headed of up the Murray River. We stopped for breakfast at palce called Caloote Ramp. There was a old guy sat by the river playing his guitar and a dog wandered over and jumped into the van. Sat outside to have my breakfast and a magpie jumped onto the table and sat eyeing up my breakfast. The next thing I know it's had the food off my fork! Finished the rest pretty quick before I had to share too much! We spent the rest of the day wandering along the river and ended up at Swan Reach for the night. The following morning we set off through Blanchetown where there is the first of several locks and we were lucky that as we stood watching the paddle steamer Murray Princess was about to go through. We then travelled on through Barmera and finished up at Berri. We left Berri the next morning and the first thing we came across was the big orange. It is a very big orange with a viewing platform, a huge mural and coffee and gift shop. Carried on to Renmark where we walked along the river. Decided then to start heading in the general direction of Adelaide. Managed to get as far as Morgan which was at one time a very busy port on the Murray. Did the heritage walk (most places have them) and ended up in the pub as you do. Left Morgan the following morning and headed direct to Adelaide.We've finally managed to get there it's only taken nearly three weeks!! At this rate we will still be in Perth at Christmas.
