    Then we were finally off on the boat trip on the famous Murray River. Sadly for a short while at the beginning of the tour we were harassed by some youngsters in a boat, but they gave up in the end. Then we reached a spot where we were shown a Canoe Tree on the bank (Google it LOL). The Birds...

    Several black kites were hunting over a freshly harvested field. They seemed to go for voles, which might actually have been killed by the mower.

    Things went a bit downhill after that.... I made even more of a mess of the next few birds and we started on the walk back to the cabins... it became a bit of a trudge in the heat and after a bit both Adrienne and I were falling to bits. So Peter bravely set off on his own to get the car and...

It was one of my better suggestions, we found a parking area beside the bridge. As we tried to get a feel for the place I spotted a...
