Murray River Basin Free camping

So many camping options around the mighty Murray and upstream tributaries.

Just outside the fruit town of Berri was a site amongst the gum trees. Berri nice I reckon.

We went in search of a site near Robinvale that was tagged in WikkiCamps but found NO CAMPING signs. A friendly local spotted our confusion and told us about a spot where she goes with her family every Easter. Super!
Such a magic camp deserves a special dinner. Mission completed. Crispy Turmeric Potato and Port Lincoln Prawn Omelet cooked Al fresco of course.

No issues finding another excellent free camp on the Murrumbidgee near Point Darlington. They are scattered over a couple of K’s along the river. We reckon this site is even better than last night.

Final stop for this leg of the trip. We are 1k from the centre of Wagga. It’s a busier camp than most but it’s almost in town and has a toilet and garbage collection. No complaints from us. Also the cycle path that tracks around the perimeter of the town and zig-zags beside the river, at 42k in length is probably the best we have seen in a regional centre.

The Murray, just like us after the omelette, is as full as a goog. The Murray system is at 92% capacity with 192,198 GL for the entire basin. All the upstream river systems also have plenty of water ranging up to 104% full. The irrigators of NSW, VIC and SA must be pretty happy. I hope the system gets a good flush.
