Mannum, Murray River

And so we left the Grampians, passed the giant koala,


and at some point crossed the border to enter South Australia. Careful planning meant that all we put in the border quarantine bin was half a lettuce and half a cucumber (we have since acquired a travellers guide to Australian state borders quarantine restrictions - and found we could have kept the lettuce).
We stayed at Mannum and on Monday took a lunch cruise aboard the Proud Mary, which gave us an hour and a half on the Murray River.


There were plenty of houseboats lining the banks of the river


Lunch was smorgasbord and one or two of our group went back for seconds


Brandt even had a turn at the controls of the wheelhouse


Back at the Mannum Caravan Park, the birds entertained us





Also other boats passed by. The Murray Princess was quite impressive as it passed by





Next stop.....Adelaide
