Wading out into the Murray River ohh its a bit... it's a bit boggy, look at this.
Look... hope there's no crocodiles out here.... looking good, feeling a little bit chilly
can't take this camera in the water with me, it's not waterproof but look at this....
this is the Murray River, they do have paddle steamers down here and eh Michele's
already been in actually she was first in.... its win.... it's cold, it's cold. Winds
getting up... round the nether regions.... a bit chilly.... how beautiful is this though.
this is a free camping site out here.... what's the name of the town Michele?
Renmark...We we went into Renmark what a what a lovely town... it's, it's got
everything but this campsite as I stand here up to me mid region in the Murray
River, this campsite has got really nice, well not great facilities, it's just got
a WC. Let me turn around so you can see the river, turn around this way so you can
see without me glaring into the Sun, it's got a good feel about it, if it had more
facilities you'd be paying. This is a free campsite and actually really nice
pitches, we're over there on the bank just behind Michele, we've got a little
tent, you can see the Jeep, we've got our own little spot here. There's probably
another maybe 20 or 30 campers on site completely free, these are all over
Australia by the way these free campsites. Ok the waters getting a little
more a little bit more bearable, ground is a little bit boggy. Had some beautiful
birds, actually I'll try and get some film a little bit later on of the birds
and the ducks that come round, there was a pelican just here
but the pelicans gone on. I'm probably looking really white if you can see any
of my body because I haven't taken a shirt off in the Suns, in the Sun, for a
long, long, long time. Yeah how gorgeous is this stood up to my
waist in the Murray River, South Australia. I'll put up on the put on the
map where we are. Just saw a fish just jump out of the water, the fishings great
here, there's guys fishing all the way along this Bank there, there are
fishermen set up fishing, probably all through the night some of them by the
looks of it. Nice it's so peaceful, so tranquil, just listen, a little bit of
wind.
So nice today, take care ,talk to you in a moment.
Hello
so we were just talking to one of the locals here, he said you should go across, it's a free
crossing so we thought we should, why not. engines off, so shift the park.
So I've just filmed it going over. Now apparently this thing's been going
for a long time, possibly even a century more
or more and it used to be hand-cranked so now it's all done with some small
diesel engines. Quite low I think about four-horse power
the guy was saying to me about 4 horsepower.
So that was nice
and that's us
We're off we're just going to go over and
check out the other side of the bridge here
I'm going to cross the Murray Oh ferry
across the Murray for this lands the one I love
here I stay
well there's not much , there's not much this side
so we're going to get back in the queue and go back over
How many does it take? and you get the gist.... 20 or so.... so there you have it
we've been over, we're heading back over. So you go up there... yep so we're gonna go across
to Burra .....yeah..... and you get 20k's out of Burra and they'll be world's end highway......
right..... turn off that and go down there five to ten K's and they'll be a big
sign Burra gorge .....okay well...... yeah 45 minutes yeah.... yeah about 45 minutes right
I'm Steve.... yeah Jason mate...all right do you live local..... yeah yep.... Good L boy.... all
right.... so not far away..... it's nice out here man it's beautiful...bloody awesome
So we're heading to burra gorge or Burra Creek Gorge, now it's not well
signposted coming from Morgan, there's no signpost actually so it's
only one we got into Burra we were told we'd gone past it when we drive back out
and there's actually a brown sign saying Burra, Burra Creek Gorge so knocked
about 20 minutes off the journey by going all the way and then coming back
out, we're still heading to check it out and one of the guys in the town they
said enjoy playing with the snakes. let's see. so here we are at Burras gorge it's
not a Gorge as I imagined it might be, not sure where the snakes are, we'd
better keep an eye on the ground but look at these beautiful gum trees, these
things must be so ancient gorgeous. I mean they're huge and there's hundreds of
them here. The size the scale of these these gum trees and this I don't know if you
can see just the majesty of these it's so pretty, there are loads of them here.
look there's one another big one over there scale of them I think I just saw - a kookaburra wouldn't mind seeing some snakes, it's not ,not a gorge as I
would have imagined ah I can hear a gala I think the parrot in the tree look up
there I don't know if you can see it there's a galah right above
my head, making all that noise just zoom in get nice and close can you see that
or the pink
hey hiding away The galah are a beautiful bird
you're all up in the trees up here you probably can't see them moving around
just along that gum tree branch, there's two of them up there ,they often
move around in pairs. They actually move around in flocks but
they do mate and pair I think for life and correct me if that's wrong but I
think galahs tend to mate up and stay together for life. it's a beautiful
beautiful area and there's some I don't know if it's I hear you I don't know if
it's some free camping or sort of what, there's a couple of caravans or camper
vans parked at the end here. Now if you go, if you go across these lines and into
the bush you probably will find snakes. You do have to be careful quite often
just make enough noise, make enough noise so that they, they are more frightened of
you than you are of them. Man the galah they'd be hard to spot
but you might get koala up here
Michele's out in the bush
you're not a prop you haven't got the appropriate Footwear on you, know you get
the snakes in in the bush, in the shrubs around here but they'll move off when
they hear you coming. So you really don't want to frighten, you know come up come
across a snake, who's just bathing in the Sun. I want to get a bit higher up so you
can see the extent of these beautiful it's like a little Valley full of gum
trees
hundreds, thousands of galah trying to chase off the drone I don't know whether
we'll actually get pictures of them chasing the drone but coming in flocks
trying to dive bomb the drone
So that is Burra Gorge, we're not going to stop here it's too early in the day for
us we've really, get off the corrugated road, we've got to get at least four or
five hours driving in, so we were going to stop for a while and go for a walk
but we thought well we probably have places to walk this evening and it's too
early in our trip today, so absolutely beautiful Jason thanks very much, the
gums are really good I really wish we could have taken a walk out but it would
easily knock an hour or two off the journey and then we would be behind we won't get
in the distance so we're going to head off and see where we end up
