camping beside the Murray River

Lock 1 on the Murray at Blanchetown SA

 

riverboats at Blanchetown

 

We are out in the country again and drove from Gawler out through Mt Pleasant (with a bakery to die for) with a morning tea stop and then on to Walkers Flat beside the Murray River.  Just a general store and a ferry crossing and boat ramp so we have set ourselves up here on a cool windy day, but then......what should come down the river but the Murray Princess paddle boat.

what a view and oh the sound of her horns as she approached the ferry crossing just along the river!!

ain't life great?
