The Murray River Region

25th September

The past 3 nights we have been exploring the Murray River region, and camping on the banks of the River.

Our first stop was Morgan, a wide section of the river, where there is a beautiful grassy foreshore. The perfect spot to enjoy the view and have a game of Finska.

 

While here, we took the car ferry over the river, and drove out to Caudo Winery. It’s a beautiful setting on a steep grassy hill, overlooking the river. We camped just near here on New Year’s Eve 2 years ago.

 

Back in camp in the afternoon, the little bit of rain we had didn’t matter too much, as it gave us a beautiful rainbow.

Just still so cold!! Lucky we had a nice communal fire place to sit around.

 

From Morgan we went to Renmark. We found a beautiful free campsite, right on the river, just 5 minutes out of town. A beautiful spot to relax and enjoy the scenery.

 

Renmark is a really pretty town, with lots of grassy park and beautiful big green trees.

 

There are lots of lochs on the Murray, which we didn’t know about. It was interesting to see one and read all about it.

 

We took a drive out to Heading Cliffs. A stunning, and very different part of the Murray to what we’d seen before.

 

And not too far from there, a great little brewery overlooking the river and houseboats.

The boys had heaps of fun playing with the dogs, while we had a few beers and yummy alcoholic lemonade.

 

On the way home we stopped in to try the gins and vodkas at the local distillery.

 

Back at camp in the afternoons, relaxing by the river – and a nice campfire at night to keep us warm. It was a great little stop.
