I snapped this in a paddock on my travels yesterday.
You will have to work out the story or the thousand words as I don't know why this Noah's Ark looking boat is on a wagon.

Every Picture tells a story?
Or put another way a picture is worth a thousand words.

On the Road Again-Morgan Road that is...
Today I went for a ride in friend Greg's yellow MG Sports car to Morgan in South Australia's Riverland.
As usual took a number of pics. Some are shared here.
I did some video from the MG so hopefully will put together a small movie and link it from Youtube to here.
A great day was had by all but a differenet exoereince than driving in modern cars but a lot of fun.
Listening to a huge compilation of 60's songs and guessing the title and artists was our "adult" fun game for the journey.
Here are some pics.

The Road Less Travelled-Morgan to Adelaide
Today I had an enjoyable day's drive with good friend Greg to do some business in Morgan, South Australia.
The road to Morgan is one steeped in South Australian history and for the last several months it has been Lesley and my choice route to travel to and from relatives in South Australia's Riverland at Renmark.
The most common route is via the Sturt Highway and passing through Blanchetown and Truro etc.
The Morgan way includes Mount Mary, Sutherlands, Bower, Eudunda and Kapunda.
There is little traffic on this road and rarely will you be stuck behind any traffic at all.
There is an abundance of sightseeing and authentic aussie experiences to be had on this road less travelled.
There are wonderful country hotels at Mt Mary
( this hotel is on the market for sale according to today's sunday mail 31/1/16)

and Sutherlands.
http://publocation.com.au/pubs/sa/sutherlands/sutherlands-hotel
Both with much colourful history behind them and great atmosphere and good home cooked meals.
Both should be a must stop on this trip.
One on the way up and one on the way back or whatever.
There is also the amazing abandoned Eba Railway Siding with a querky character and his dog permanently waiting on the platform.
There are wonderful old ruined homesteads set amongst bluebush paddocks for the photographer and also there is a trail of old motor car bodies from yesteryear that make great photographic studies.
A bonus,for birdwatchers, at Mt Mary Hotel, was spotting a White Fronted Chat(I think) in backblocks.
Great River secenery at Morgan and more historic hotels, antiques shop,

museum and bakery to add to the attractions.
Eudunda and Kapunda are great country towns to visit in their own right with much to offer.
Below are some pics from today. This is a small sample. I took 320 pics altogether.
