Bugger ..... rain today ...well a few shower or two . I put up my end ,

Took me an hour as it is the first time i put the end up , now i know how to do it

Moved camp to a better spot as the previous site was too sandy .

I haven't learnt to wipe my feet before I get into the van ,

I had to get the broom out and do some van cleaning ,

I am not used to a untidy van .?

Hey John.... look after the pump for me , I do hope you get rid of that sinking ship ,

Perhaps ,get an on board (solar powered) air pump to keep the craft afloat.

The river here has really dirty brown water , not good for daily bathing.,

Cheers from Paul

Not used to an untidy van, you have to be kidding, must have changed after leaving Greens.

Yes Paul the floating mattress is in the rubbish skip never to return and the pump is in my tidy drawer waiting your return.

All the best on your travels,

John

Hello John

good to get a mes from you ,

At the moment I am at Nyah still , will be here for a wee bit

Maybe head off towards SA in a day or so , I am not sure at this moment ,

When i land there I will make a splash ...

repair two tyres , both on the front of the scoot machine,

I had to spent a few hours looking about the town here , Swan Hill is a much bigger town than I thought it would be

The temp here on my temp gauge is 39 c so sitting in the shade is a. b....dy good option

I feel like crawling into the icebox for a refresher

John let me know if you are aware of a few free camp spots.

cheers from Paul

Not much travelling in SA went round the coast and the west of the Eyre peninsular was spectacular.

Mannun was good, just ask Billeee. but what happens in Mannum is supposed to stay in Mannum.

The blog starts in SA here http://yeoeleven.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/south-australia.html

Have a good trip,

Having a quiet day on the Murray

Been to Bunnings , very helpful staff there ! I want to keep going there .

Botanic Gardens here at Mildura is in NSW , the gardens are about 30 years old

, there has been a enormous amount of work done but more is needed.

All work is done by volunteers , not council.

I bought a fold up trolley but it is going back to the shop ,

it is to short for a tall person , i thought it would be good

to shift solar panel and water , yep... too short .

To save buying lunch when i am out and about i bought a small soft ESKY ,

i can pack some lunch instead of buying lunch .

One cafe /coffee shop here was charging $14:00 for a ham and salad roll

, make my own lunch when I go touring about..

Went to visit the boats using the lock . There was 26 locks planed along the Murray

but only 14 were built , only 12 are used now.

Pic of boat entering lock then pic of boat lowered to lower level

This is the nice camping spot view of the river at Psyche Bend

Or otherwise known as Psyche pump because there is a historic pump here . This pump was run on wood fires (steam) but now it is powered by240 v 20141220_191934_Unnamed Rd.jpg

Psyche Bend is easy to get to with good access , 10km out of town

I am enjoying your photos. Stayed at Plushes when I was travelling through a while back. Was a nice spot but I was there at school holiday time so it was a bit crowded for me. Safe travels.
