along the way we had a look at 'oscar', an old steamer which still goes up and down the murray on special occasions. that's the hindmarsh island bridge in the background, the one which local aboriginal women opposed because they claimed it would be built on a sacred women's site. they obviously didn't win the fight.
checked out this steam train at the same time - it's the one that goes from victor harbour around to goolwa
saw some ute boys on the car ferry
did a bit of windsurfing on lake alexandrina
walked across dunes to one of the wild beaches along the coorong. were going to try driving across but were glad we hadn't as the sand was soft and deep and we wouldn't have made it. some spectacular middens on the way.
drove along beach to kingston. this was really fun.
