MURRAY BRIDGE & MANNUM

Murray Bridge is so named as it was the place the first bridge was built across the Murray River. I was excited to be beside The Mighty Murray, so huge, such and icon even if it was a funny mustard colour, I will admit I felt awed by it.
When Peter and Sue arrived at the meeting place with Wayne and Tracey we pottered off the brother Greg's holiday house at Sunnyside and set up. We ate at the Bridgeport Hotel that evening their food was great and reasonably priced.
The next day was the wedding and after the attendees departed John and I toured around the district discovering how much wetlands surrounded one side of the river and marvelling at it from various lookouts and of course photos galore. The others returned the next day and so did Greg and Sue and their family who spent the day waterskiing etc. and we all had a barbeque together, it was good to meet them all at last.
On Monday Peter and Sue travelled to Mannum to depart on their 4 day cruise up the Murray on the Murray Princess.
We towed there and booked into the caravan park and were able to farewell them, and welcome them when they returned with huge smiles on their faces, then departed on a bus for Adelaide and to continue their trip on to Melbourne to celebrate daughter Kimberley's 30th Birthday.
