Port Augusta

$2 each Bargain

Murray River Waikerie lookout


Last night we stayed at Lock 9 free camp on the Murray was a tight track but we got in Ok. We camped on the track as the river was up a bit thinking no more about it till today you can read why after the outlook from our kitchen window was beautiful and the big Carp swimming on the edges were amazing. (Will load some pics soon)

Well today we arrived here in Pt Augusta our original intentions were to stay around on the Murray river at some free camps we know of but as we found out around Waikerie the river was up a little bit, places like Ramco and Hogwash were under water not a little bit but a lot, Mick if you remember Hogwash turn of Bituman 100 mtrs down the dirt rd was a mtre at least deep.
Cadel ferry ride the ramp was at least 1/2 way up the ramp, was amazing to see from the last time we crossed here and the surrounding countryside is so green and lush a real change in the scenery from our last visit.
The downside from this is the damn locust on the fly they do make a mess of the windscreen and the front of car not looking forward to cleaning.

Mandy I reckon you will love it if you were to follow the Murray and seeing it so lush and green

Anyway we will see where we go from here I think Eyre pininsula might be OK but being a long weekend here will look at all the options
