Apr 16 Barossa Valley

Due to popular demand, here are some photos of the Kia getting bogged. They were on Jude's camera, which is why I have posted them a day late - not because I am embarrassed about getting bogged. Not at all...

At least I now know the limitations of our car (the front wheels don't do any driving when the back ones are bogged). And the dangers of driving over newly grassed areas on the edge of a recently flooded river.

We packed up our camp site on the banks of the Murray River and drove on to the Barossa Valley.

First stop was Mannum, a tourist town also on the Murray River. We found a lookout and took some nice photos of the Murray with plenty of water flowing at the moment.

The drive on to the Barossa Valley was very nice and took us through some hilly and picturesque country.
Some of the landscape was full of rocks. Some artistic types have obviously been hard at work painting messages on some of the roadside rocks. I liked this one rock, although some idiot had tagged it so its hard to read.

We spent the night at Truro, just north of Nuriootpa. Nothing special, just a road-side rest area, which was pretty noisy when the trucks went by through the night.
