🏊🏻‍♀️ Just in and out of the lake to cool off in the water 😜

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

Leaving Waikerie we headed to Kingston on Murray with a plan to visit the Banrock Station Wine and Wetland Centre, for the views, walks and of course the wine, only to find it appears to have closed down 😢

We took a slight detour through the Mooroock Game Reserve to check out the Kaiser Strip Campground sites for futures trips 😜 before arriving at Barmera and Lake Bonney, a freshwater lake fed by the Murray River.

👍🏻 Beautiful quiet camp spot on the shore of the lake - ours one of only 3 available spots 🏕️
👍🏻 Lake Bonney is perfect to cool down from the heat, walk in access, shallow with a sandy bottom 👌
👍🏻 THE most amazing sunset 🌅 and night sky 🌌 incl a glimpse of the Aurora Australis

👎🏻 Site very sloped and requiring alot of extensions on the BOS jockey wheel 😳
👎🏻 Sad we didn’t bring our canoe with us 🛶
👎🏻 Planned to cycle the Lake Circuit but it’s too hot to be so exposed on the 22km trail🚴🏻‍♀️🥵Read more
