From Moonta to Hay

Friday the 27th November we left Moonta heading for Griffith. Linda's Aunty Laurie passed away and so we were going to the funeral before heading home for four weeks for Christmas. So this will be the last post till sometime in January when we resume our second big trip.

As there had been the terrible fires in South Australia near Adelaide we chose not to take the Sturt Highway to get to Renmark. Instead we went to Balaklava to Morgan to join the Goyder Highway. We arrived at Morgan and had lunch. Morgan was the major inland port of South Australia as it is at the northern bend of the Murray River. Another nice town and it will be nice to follow the Murray for a while.









Lake Bonney looked nice for an overnight stop in our camps book and on Wikicamps and it did not dissapoint. All this and good tele and phone reception as well. Not bad for free.








What a great sunset it was that night. It is about time I posted some more sunset photos.





We pushed off next morning and had lunch at Euston which is near Robinvale. More nice views of the Murray. I think a trip along the full length of the Murray is a must down the track.






We were going to stay short of Hay on the Murrumbidgee but we could not find the spot referred to in the camps book. I am sure we could have got closer enough to the spot but Linda was not keen and we stayed in the Caravan Park in South Hay for only $26. It was just a short walk down the river.




So that ends the second big trip temporarily whilst we take an interlude home with the family. We look forward to finishing it off in the New Year. See you then. Happy travels.
