We got away on time without any fuss and travelled up to Berri and then onto Monash (by mistake, we missed a turn!) where we had to do a very tricky reverse three point turn into oncoming traffic. This required complete understanding between husband and wife!
Back on the right road we continued on to a little river settlement called Morgan. This is where the river, after running in a east/west direction all the way from Albury in NSW, now turns south and begins to wander through the length of South Australia before eventually reaching the ocean.
To continue our journey we needed to cross the river. The only way across at this place is by ferry. After watching a road train cross, I was happy for our little rig to be loaded and take the ride.
We continued on to Blanchetown where we planned to stop for a couple of days but on arrival we were disappointed with the area and travelled instead to Swan Reach where we have parked up at a little caravan park that is right next to the river. Curiously the park owner worked for years in various places in the north of WA. As I write this the corellas are screeching in the trees at the waters edge giving us another reminder of the west.
We will use this stop to take a side trip into the famous Barossa Valley.
