Loxton, S.A

We made it across the border into S.A.yesterday and ended up staying 2 nights at Loxton, just over the border on the Murray River. The kids thought it was great fun going through the quarantine station and having our veggies taken off us ( we thought it was just fruit). We've had mild,sunny days and cool nights and the Murray River is flowing very high. Did a bit of 4wding through the Big Desert National Park from Nhil to Murrayville. The kids were excited to have their first campfire, complete with marshmallows of course.Alice: we walked up a big red hill and we saw lots of red dust. There was a good view of the Murray river at the top.Bridget: I saw a kookaburra come into our kitchen and he gave Mummy a fright because he had a big beak.Heading tomorrow to Burra, a small mining town, only 3hrs drive away, yippee..
