Travel with us as we travel the 2,300km of the Murray River.
Just like a missile we were seeking the warmth, and looking at the forecast for the towns in central Australia, we were going in the right direction. On this next leg we had to travel over the border into SA again. As we had taken a different route we were welcomed this time by the… Read More »Heat seeking Molly….
During the departure checklist for the car which is to check all the engine fluids, tyre pressures and connections, I noticed that the coolant level was low. As Molly is old 12 months old it would be unusual to lose coolant. Before we left Melbourne, we had the car serviced which included having all the… Read More »Sunset on our epic Murray River odyssey
This morning while were having breakfast, we spotted a very plump bird that was running through the grasses digging holes in the ground. Neither of us had seen the bird before so we checked Google, which allowed us to match a picture. The bird was a Guinea Fowl. So we went for a drive along… Read More »Mannum
On a much cooler day, we pack up to continue down the Murray. Karen has chosen the path for us to follow today. We leave the caravan park and board the waiting ferry to cross the Murray. This is the first of many times we will cross the Murray today. After travelling at a nice leisurely… Read More »Big Bends and Cliffs

So we continued to… Read More »Morgan via Waikerie and Cadell

Taking the advice of a couple we met yesterday, we went to visit Loxton. Loxton was about 40km from Lake Bonney, our camp. So we hopped in the car, back through Berri. As you arrive in the main street of the little town, there are some old buildings. We went down and had at a… Read More »Loxton & 919 Wines
We awoke to another cloudless day that the area is renowned. We had a brief look through the pamphlets that Karen had taken from the information centre. We then decided to do the tourist drives around Paringa, SA as they were the furthest away at 50kms. So we headed towards Renmark and the hooked a… Read More »Paringa & Surrounds

A couple we met even ran the Underground Motel at White Cliffs NSW, so if you are in the area drop in and say hi. We had mapped our… Read More »Dirt all the way
