We left early the next morning to get to Ngaut Ngaut for our indigenous tour. This is definitely a highlight of the river cruise. Dinner tonight was a dress up affair for the Captain's Dinner. Superb meal. Our last night on board.

Sam is a very entertaining guide

Rocks from other parts of the country found buried, indicating the true nature of how trading worked


It's a family affair caring for this important archaeological site

  Day 4: What better way to start than some beautiful pancakes for breakfast! Literally a cruisey day, following the river downstream once more. Lots of camping along the river. Lots of recreational boating. What a way to wake up Bridge at Cobdogla another tricky navigation The bridge is right on a river bend This was our pass, closest to the right hand bank Hot day but lovely on the river. There are always beautiful homes to view, birds to watch, life in general cruising down river. After lunch we were picked up for a visit to Banrock Station for some wine tasting. What a great place to visit. Lots of terrific environmental work going on here with the wetlands on the property. View across the rejuvenated wetlands at Banrock Station Outside the tasting room at Banrock Station A visit to an iconic pub before reboarding our boat. The Overland Corner is a local icon. Built in 1859 it was a staging point for the coach from NSW to Adelaide. I rounded off the day with a cocktail before ...

 Our plane departed Sydney on time, headed for a 30+C degree day in Adelaide. Our friend Anne was accompanying us on the river cruise. After settling in to the hotel. We went our separate ways agreeing to meet for dinner. What a beautiful start to our trip. A walk along the River Torrens on a balmy afternoon. It seems most in Adelaide wear their mask outdoors when walking around the CBD area, but not so much beyond. So walking along the river we did not encounter many with their mask on. This was a very pleasant walk. Easy on a hot day and ideal to walk off the plane trip. Pub dinner rounded off with a super dessert.

  A lazy start to the day before leaving for the coach station at 10:30. RAT done and negative (phew, worked hard for that result!!), we left Adelaide behind. Of course very scenic passing through the Adelaide Hills, then out onto the plains. First stop Nildottie for facilities. These photos were taken here. Love quaint country towns. Picked up some more passengers at Murray Bridge. Last stop Loxton before arriving in Renmark around 5pm. A relaxed evening before boarding Proud Mary, our home for the next seven nights. Renmark Hotel from our boat During supper, we had wondered what all the families were doing on the shore after dark. We ventured down to investigate. Possums come down the palm trees to be hand fed vegetable scraps.
