Adelaide to Loxton – Day 1

After some frustrating issues with our Camper we were keen to go on a little jaunt to check out that everything was working properly so we headed for a few days in Loxton. From home we headed to Stirling and the South Eastern Freeway which took us to Murray Bridge and on to Karoonda where we had a short break.

What a neat, tidy rig!

Surely a Bullock Wagon could turn in the Karoonda main street.

The eye is upon you.

A group of men playing in the dirt. What were they doing?

“The Karoonda Shuffle”, represents the importance of grain in the Mallee region. Painted Silo in the background.

The grain stalks appear to shuffle as you walk past them.

After our short stop it was time to repack the hairy, white passenger and continue on to Loxton where we were all welcome at the Riverside Caravan Park.

All set up in the shade, time to relax.

Our perfect view.

Our river-front site was in a group of 6 which were all apparently in use until that morning which was very lucky for us because we were able to get the only one in shade.  The Park is extensive but there were very few campers, no one was anywhere near us.

Kookaburra – we were on his patch.

Knowledge alone is not enough.

Spooky!

Oh, I see, it’s a Lions Club Park.

This was our first camping trip with our hairy, white passenger and we had no idea what the night would bring, we were soon to find out.

And so the day ended.
