For a small fee you can park on the banks of the River Murray. Fire drums are provided, but you have to bring your own wood. There are flushing toilets, but no showers. They charge a little more for power. A small price for a nice spot in SA. It's the heart of the orange growing country.

Unfortunately I took their photos separately, so there will be three photos. [IMG]https://i1125.photobucket.com/al...

We arrived in Melbourne yesterday for 3 weeks housesitting in Berwick. Why? I am beginning to doubt our sanity; Melbourne in May! Most sane Melbournians are on their way to Queensland. Now I know why.

Taken at Bundaberg Botanic gardens couple of years ago.

Put a deposit on a replacement van today, an older one but newer than model than we have currently. Its a 23.5 foot roadstar, bit roomier than our current 16 foot millard.
