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...
