On a ferry across the mouth (eheem - that should properly be termed the "arse") of the Murray River

The giant lobster in Kingston S.E. Golden hour is upon us - will be make it to Robe before dark?

Answer was no! Despite Dougie going like the clappers, it was properly dark before we arrived at the camp-site. No manager on duty, so we called the number on the note on the door. No one picks up. What does one do? Help ourselves and sort it out in the morning. This picture is in the morning - still no-one around interested in getting any money from 2 weary travellers,now keen on getting going, so what does one do? I'll leave that to your imagination.....

This gorgeous labradoodle, kept a watchful eye on breakfast proceedings in Beachport.

Swung past the Blue Lake in Mount Gambier. This is the Big one - sorry John - no time to search for the little one....

And that's it for pictures - we slabbed it back to Melbourne via Digby and Hamilton, resisting the lure of the Grampians on the Northern Horizon as we stopped for lunch in Dunkeld. 6 days of sensational riding, rivalling some of the best places I've visited on two wheels. Sensational company, brilliant weather and not a hickup from either bike. Let's do it again at springtime for the flowers next time around! Anybody else wants to come along?

Looks like a great ride. Love the photos, esp of the Flinder's Ranges. The scenery up there is just fantastic. I should go back.

After another night in the fantastic cottage at Clare, we set of due South. We criss crossed the Clare, Barossa Valleys and Adelaide Hills as we made our way to Birdwood. Stopping at the National Motor Museum.

Now visiting Museum's can make you very hungry. It was a race to Hahndorf for lunch.

After the Schnitzel of yesterday it was time for something lighter.
I guess the deep fried onion rings tipped it over the edge W-)

But to be sure of good health, we shuffled up the street for some delightful treats at this little place. :bt

We had to cross the Murray River just south of Tailem Bend.

There was time for fuel at Kingston and then race into Robe for the night.
We made it just on dark.

Yeah, the ferry at Wellington runs 24/7 free-of-charge. It;s actually cabled at both ends, to make sure the ferry pilot don't get any ideas and goes meandering into Lake Alexandrina:bs
