Our road trip along Australia’s greatest waterway, the Murray River continues 😊

First to Raukkan, a small aboriginal community (currently open) on Lake Alexandrina, to see the 1869 church which appears on the $50 note alongside David Unaipon (inventor, scientist, author) who was born in the town
We love the quote he is credited with ‘A friend will always leave a footprint’ 💙

Next Meningie on Lake Albert and then Pink Lake- no drone pics as it was way too windy 🌬️

Crossed the Murray on the ferry at Wellington, where the River empties into Lake Alexandrina, and then again at Tailem Bend ⛴️ to our destination at Murray Bridge, a place we have always travelled through and never stopped

👍🏻 Early start to the day for a great parkrun 🏃🏼
👍🏻 Our journey took in 2 ferry crossings ⛴️
👍🏻 Found an awesomely cute day backpack 🦄
👍🏻 Watch local cricket next to our camp🏏, not boring at all 😜
👍🏻 Enjoyed a great night at the speedway 🏁🏎️
Found ourselves in the VIP grandstand, don’t know how but it made it so much more fun 🤩
