Tuesday August 23rd saw us bidding adieu to the Yorke Peninsula. Next stop is the Murray River town of Morgan in South Australia. We backtracked North to Port Wakefield once again enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. We then traveled East through Balaklava,Saddleworth, Kapunda, and Eudunda before arriving in Morgan. We had considered stopping in Bower but free camp wasn't as described and there was really nothing to see there.
We checked in to the Top Tourist Park at Morgan which is right on the Murray River. It wasn't busy this time of year so we were both given huge drive through sites so we didn't need to unhitch. The amenity block was good although a bit of construction going on in the front of it. I'll give them 3.5 Stars. The Ransleys decided to unhitch so that we could go for a drive around the area. We traveled along the North side of the river to Waikerie where we crossed on the ferry. Had a quick look around the Visitor Centre and Lookout while we were there.
We then took the South side of the river on the way home to Morgan passing through Ramco and Cadell. We crossed the ferry at Morgan and did a quick tour around town including the lookout. Sandra and Carol went shopping at an op shop while Rans and I had a beer at the local pub. Quite a nice little town with a lot of history. Picture below would have been us if we hadn't chosen to wait in the Pub!
This is the Bewells first trip to the Murray River area. The water is quite high because of all the recent rain but very muddy. Wouldn't want to go for a swim in it!
