Quorn to Morgan

On waking Saturday morning we packed up and moved on .We had promised Vickie brother Brain (stubby) that we would meet him at his daughters (Connie) farm for her surprise birthday .On the way we past Wilmington a small town with the most interesting shop of puppets.The owner was so proud and gave us all the stories of where he obtained almost 1000 of them and some back as far as the 1700s.Then it was lunch stop at the Stone Hut which comes highly recommended by Mick & Vickie (niknoff) definitely some of the best pies & pasties we have had. Connies place is in the farming district of Kyubunga and with the directions given to us we managed to get lost for awhile we managed to go though Clare not once but twice any way we got there in the end. The party was a surprise for Connie and was held in a farm shed across the road it was a great night meeting all the their friends and what lovely friends they where.

It was great catching up with Connie as we have not seen her and her family in some years and boy haven't the kids grown we have promised to call in on the way to Adelaide.While we were there Brian took us sightseeing around Clare and outlying areas quit a pretty place.We left Connie's to catch up with some friends but plans were changed so we headed for Burra to camp at red bank conservation park but took a wrong turn and ended up at Burra creek what a lovely mistake it was a really pretty place and the bird life was amazing to many to mention. One night while we were sitting out side by the fire we were blessed with the company of a mother possum and her baby the cutest little things she was so patient and just sat there while we took her photo.

We left Burra creek and headed for the Murry River. Got to Morgan and caught the ferry across the river and have set up camp right at the waters edge, have stocked up the fire and are now sitting back with a beer watching all the birds, what a wonderful life we have in this great country of ours.
OH No Geoff's chopping wood he is dangerous with an axe just ask Mick(nik n off) he has the wounds to prove it.
