| Another rough free camp on the Murray |
Cadel free camp right on the river at Cadel had been
recommended to us by several other travelers as a great spot to camp as they
illuminate the river cliffs at night and there are nice green lawns to walk
barefoot on.

We had also been challenged
by the “GOILS” (AKA Linda and Carol) to the 2016 “Best of Three” - Five Hundred
Championships.
So after hooking up our vans at Moorook we traveled almost
77klms by road and Ferry to Cadel – an exhausting trip but hey sometimes you
have just got to cover these huge distances to get to a good camp spot J.

After setting up we trekked into town to check out the locals.
After at least 1klm we were parched – luckily the Cadel Club had just opened
and we were able to quench our thirst with cold beer and wine. After donating
$20 each to the pokies we get set off home to get prepared for the light show
and the card challenge.

The river cliffs shone red in the night and after some
obligatory photos it was time for beer and cards.

Being a true gentleman I will not point out that boys whipped the goils two
nil in the opening games and thus dashed once again their hopes for a win
against the Champions (AKA Steve and Kerry).
Next morning we bade goodbye to our friends and after
catching the Ferry across the Mersey Murray we headed off to Whyalla.
