Trek to Tassie Day Three and Four

Wednesday 23rd July 2025 and 24th July 2025

Today the 23rd is Justin's birthday.

We left camp in Greenock at 9.00am.

It was a beautiful morning we were heading to Swan Reach to camp on the Murray River. We stopped in Sedan to get tissues and Garbage bags, oh and also a coffee.

Continued on to Swan Reach to find the only camp spot left was under a Widow Maker (Red River Gum Tree). So we decided to continue on to Wongulla, I'm so glad we did, it was amazing here, there were hardly any other people here, 2 other caravans, and we were parked 1 metre from the water.

This friendly little fella and his mate were very cheeky trying to steal our lunch.

Steve immediately got out a rod and some corn to catch some Carp. Not a bite.

We collected some firewood and with what we had in the car we had a lovely night watching the stars and Satellite 🛰️ go by.

Next morning 24th July we jumped in the car and went for a drive to Walker Flats to see if we could buy some firewood for that night. $30 per bag was a little steep so off we drove to Mannum where we picked up some Gnarly wood for $18.00 per bag, a much reasonable price. We then came back to camp and lit the fire which kept us warm into the night.

This old girl chugged past us, it bought back memories of when Pat,Richard Steve and myself went on her, can't quite remember when, it was a long time ago.

We went looking for firewood, there was none in the area.

We had a little bit in the car so we burnt that looked for satellite 🛰️ and then went to bed.

Next morning the 24th July, we headed to Walker Flats to see if there was any firewood for sale. They wanted $30 for a bag, we said no way to expensive 🫰.

Off we went for a drive to Mannum which was only 33k away, we picked up wood at the hardware for $18.00 per bag plus $8.50 for kindling.

 The morning dawned a lot dryer, we got up packed up and went for breakfast at the Roadhouse again. The meal was so big we took a doggy bag. We left Tailem Bend at 9.30am and headed to Bordertown. We stopped in Keith for a walk and a cuppa, then it was on to Bordertown again. When we got to Bordertown we got fuel, and we found the white kangaroos they were gorgeous, I've never seen a white kangaroo before. It was then onto find camp. We stopped in Worsley first but it was to quaggy and wet. We decided to go onto Serviceton Victoria, Here we found a lovely campsite that has power, toilets showers and water all for $20 per night. We are staying 2 nights.

As it was only 7°C we crawled into bed early.
