Our journey from Source to Sea on the Murray River.
We set up our tent for a longer stay as this will be our base for the next 6 days at the BIG4 Renmark Riverfront Holiday Park. We needed this break as all of us were getting tired from daily setting and pulling down our camp site. We took this Read more…
We had such a good sleep in the Murray Sunset National Park that we all work up a little late and had to rush so that we could get to Lock 7 (some 20kms away) on a predetermined time booked through mum using our satellite tracker and messenger. We arrived Read more…
Just as we were about to leave Wentworth, two kind men on a boat stopped us and gave a donation for the MS cause. We have been amazed by the kind generosity of people me have met along our journey. We were a little late and had booked a time Read more…
