Since Lake Hindmarsh dried up many many years ago, we have since been camping along the Murray in seek of places of seclusion. These photos were taken over several different trips in several ‘secret’ locations. I’m known for taking random photos so here we go!
The Sunsets:
I’m no romantic, but the sun setting on the Murray is something spectacular. It must be the way the colour of the sky changes as the sun sets or the reflection off the water… It’s truly breath taking.
The Bush:
There are a lot of trees, but they are often overlooked or taken for granted.
The Water:
Now for the random photos I’ve taken during our trips:
Various camp setups:
Amazing, a tree growing out from a tree that had been chopped down
Icy winter morning brings frost on everything
Prado launching a tinny off the bank
Ute launching a tinny off the bank then getting bogged
A group on the other side of the river had a ute bogged at the rivers edge. They spent most of the day digging and snatching without any luck. The rear wheels were already under water and the chassis had bottomed out. The next day they had the 3 cars daisy chained in an attempt to pull the poor ute out – which failed. They later tugged on the ute directly from two different angles. Both cars were kicking up a lot of dirt as they slid left and right in desperation. They must’ve thought I was crazy when I let out a WOHOOO from across the river when the ute got out of the bog.
Weird hookup
He was missing half a tail but boy did he swim fast when we released him.
Fire!
No trip is complete without a campfire with glowing coals
Water crossings
After Victoria got hit by flood waters, it created some water crossings on the tracks and on the bitumen. I guess I could say my camry has done a puddle crossing :lol:
Went to town for some supplies and spotted this when returning to our cars. It was definitely worthy of a photo!
Hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them
Cheers
