More houseboating on the River Murray

Some years back we did a trip on a houseboat with some good friends.
We went from Murray Bridge to Mannum for a day trip.
Here are some pics.
A river holiday in South Australia is hard to beat for relaxation and beautiful scenery.

Frank The Chookman

The last two days we have been visiting rellies in the Riverland.
Frank the Chookman's unique houseboat was moored at the front of the Renmark Hotel.
A true Australian character.

Houseboating on the Murray River

One of the great pleasures in Australia is having a weekend or week long trip on Australia's many waterways.
We are embarking on another  one later in the year but this one pictured here was in the 1990's on the River Murray up stream from Renmark South Australia and crossing state boundaries.
As I have been archiving here are a few snaps from that holiday.
The scenery as you cruise along and take hikes on land is amazing.
The photos were taken with a Pentax super A film camera.(super program in USA)
I mainly used a Kiron 28-210mm zoom lens.
