Murray River - Nyah Vinifera Park - north of Swan Hill

To escape the rainy weather around the Coorong, we decided to leave the coast again & head inland back towards the Murray River but this time in Victoria. We are making our way slowly towards the high country, so decided to have a bigger day in the car & get closer. Using the Camps Australia Wide book we started looking for a camp around Nyah about 30km north of Swan Hill. We had a look at the one in town behind the sports fields, it was okay but more suited to an overnight stop. We headed further south out of town onto Takasuka Rd that took us back onto the Murray River. There are heaps of great spots along here, there where quite a few camps already there, but we managed to find a nice spot. It was close to the road (just the track to the campsites) but it had an open flat area without to many overhanging tree branches. Good for the solar panels & also for safety from falling tree branches.




We could also have a campfire, yeah, it has been a long time. By the time we set up it was getting later in the afternoon. We had our leftover savoury mince from the night before so we just had to heat it up, easy! 




The next day we just stayed at camp. Mat went for a fish but with no luck, the water was really flowing due to the recent rain. It was a lovely relaxing day, we even saw some rainbow bee eaters again. We could of stayed longer but decided there was lots to see before we need to start heading home, so we should get going, so the next day we headed towards Echuca. More on that soon.
