camping

We went camping with friends up the Murray River...we'd heard it had blue green algae in it ..I did ring to check and was told it was at Torrumbarry.... we were camping just near Torrumbarry Estate and the water looked fine and there was people in the river already.


We all ened up in the water at some stage and we have no complaints... the dog was desperated to get in she ended up just laying down...although not for too long...because if you stand still the yabbies nip at you.. The next day we had some visitors of the winged variety...we had some ox heart that we'd bought Snowy (she didn't like it)...the Kookaburras loved it.

Across the river were a nest and this is a pic of the home owner...I got another pic of it actually carrying a stick to the nest... and the next day Eric got a pic of 2 sitting together...

our friend, Marks first attempt at damper

Friends of our friends were staying in a houseboat and pulled up where we were staying...and they took us out for a cruise for an afternoon...gee it was nice.
