Winter Journey

Crystal Brook
Morgan
Mildura
Kerang
Bendigo

The rain had stopped by the time we left Port Augusta. We didn't see much, that will have to be another trip. The entire place was crowded with hundreds of caravans, either travelling west, doing “the big lap”, going to Uluru or Kings Canyon.

We enjoyed our journey east, we stopped at Crystal Brook and Spalding before reaching Morgan for an overnight stop. It's a lovely little park right on the banks of the Murray River, we'll have a look around in the morning before we leave.

This morning we walked along the banks of the Murray at Morgan, we watched the ferry bringing the cars and caravans across the river. This is a free ferry that operates 24 hours every day. It didn't stop, backwards and forwards continually as there was plenty of traffic.




We followed the Tomtom instructions and took the road towards Renmark and then on to Mildura. We are in the Golden River Holiday Park
which is full of families and kids...1st day of the school holidays!

We'll have a look around in the morning but are only overnighting here, and as we've spent time in this region before will keep moving. A flat tyre held us up, after sorting that out we continued on to Kerang and then Bendigo.

The Tudors to Windors exhibition at the the Bendigo Art Gallery was the finale of our winter journey, we arrived home safely the next day.
