MURRAY RIVER CRUISE

MURRAY RIVER CRUISE

Saturday 21^st May

We climbed on board the ‘Missy’ at 10 am and until we got off again we had a ball. Trevor from Houseboat Adventure.com.au  was our compare entertaining us with jokes, singing,  karaoke and general fun. He had us dancing the hokey pokey in the aisle doing a bush band bash (Ian played the bass and I played the thingie with the bottle caps on it) and kept us smiling and laughing the whole trip. Morning tea was provided on the boat and a BBQ lunch on the banks of the Murray. To top it off a video was made during the trip and a complimentary copy was given to us. It is an activity we would unreservedly recommend to anyone arriving in this area.

Meanwhile back on shore Ian has been fishing away and a caught a nice fat catfish which had to be thrown back in again as they are protected.

Today, Monday, we have had some rain and tested out our rain water collecting gutter system, we got half a tank of water in the short time it rained so we were quite chuffed with ourselves. If you recall I did mention that the water here wasn’t suitable for drinking and although we do have a separate drinking water tank it was good not to pollute the main tanks (just yet at least).
