Leaving the Murray again

Definitely leaving the Murray river today, lots of discussion between the caretaker and fellow campers about the name of the fish we wre catching, caretaker says never heard of a Grunter, it must have been a silver perch and campers say no it was a Grunter or a Bream, we left them deciding who was right, all good fun.
Travelled to Waikerie where we had our morning tea by the river, Bentley must have sensed this was that last of the river stops and he went in for a swim!! He has never bothered about going in the river all the time we have camped along it, he was very pleased with himself, thought it was great fun and had a good run around before we could catch him.
We crossed the Murray by ferry and headed to Eudunda and had a bakery lunch before settling in Saddleworth which is around the Barossa Valley, we have camped at the show grounds with showers and toilets $20 a night, also a laundry and we are in dire need of a laundry, so I piled the washing in, put in my $3 but nothing happened, I rang the caretaker and I have to wait for him to arrive to get the machine going.
Tea tonight is Thelma's easy carbonara.
