Week 523 - Waikerie, South Australia

Moorook Hall - Dated architecture at Moorook

We are following the Murray against the tide and have come across many a pretty town.  The river does not seem to be as busy as it used to be and the townships are quite small.

The weather has been hot, sunny and muggy, but finally at the end of this week we had just a couple of showers.  Not enough to green up the barren landscape.

Rain - A welcome sun shower, halfway through the day.

The details in the photograph - You can 
just make out the outline of a river gum.

We write this blog from Waikerie camped outside Boner and Love Muscle's place.  The beer fridge is stocked up and so is the Ingel.  Boner is on his swing and only gets one week at home in every three weeks.  Part of the government's plan to build healthy, loving, family relationships.

A quiet pint - Jo and Oleen relax having
a beer at Morgan.

Waikerie - The council has spent millions
landscaping the parks of Waikerie.

Boner/Simon spends most of his time underground and flies in and out from Adelaide to Carrapateena, approx 200 kms north of Port Augusta.

So as we follow the Murray east, we are on a deadline to get to Casino in just six weeks time - 1700 kms or 19 hours of driving, whichever is the quickest.
