Meningie

 5 - 7 December 2021

After 5 nights at Hahndorf, and having both the car and camper trailer in to repairers we were ready to start making our way towards the Victorian border. We chose Meningie as our next stop and managed to book site in the caravan park, right on the lake. We'd stayed there before and it's a nice town, on beautiful  Lake Albert. 

We left Hahndorf and made one last stop at Laratinga Wetlands. Mick was rewarded with some shots of a blue-billed duck. From Mount Barker we drove on towards Langhorne Creek on the Fleurieu Peninsula. This is just one of South Australia's many wine regions. From there we made our way to Wellington, where we crossed the Murray River on a ferry again.

We arrived in Meningie, on the northern edge of the Coorong, just on lunch time so stopped at the park in town to have a picnic lunch and a walk. We were surprised at just how many people were doing the same thing. It was a beautiul day, but quite windy. After lunch we drove on the caravan park and set up on the lake's edge site that had been allocated for us. It is such a lovely place to sit and watch the lake and it's resident birdlife. 

We had a  quiet couple of days in Meningie but did get down to the bird hide just near the school. Unfortunately we had timed our arrival to coincide with a school activity! We left them to it, and headed up to the lookout. 

Our next, and final nights, in South Australia would be Mount Gambier so we decided to stop in Robe on our way there.
