River Cruise and Picnic
Date:
22 Nov 2015
Location:
Riverland, SA
Description:
It was a perfect day for a cruise; we had a total of 8 cars meet at Bunnings Munno Para before heading out through the hills via Kersbrook and Birdwood. We continued down through Tungkillo before reaching Mannum. It was a usual busy Saturday in Mannum, and after a couple of trips on the ferry across the river we headed to Sturt Reserve along the rivers edge for a picnic lunch. Here we set up our chairs and esky’s to enjoy the scenery and the wildlife that came to visit during our lunch.
There was also another group of car enthusiasts there with a mix of old school Torana’s taking a break. Several had a chat about our cars and shared their journey of restoring their beasts. It was a relaxing afternoon listening to the Proud Mary Riverboat chugging along with their passengers giving us a friendly wave as they past by.
After lunch we decided to make a move and headed off towards Mt Barker for one last stop at Millies Bakery, where the smell of freshly brewed coffee really hit the spot. All in all a good day out was had by all.
