Moving on

After a busy and noisy weekend in Mannum we have moved on, enjoyed the town of Mannum but found the campsite at the long weekend not what we wanted, looking back on the weekend we seem to spend a lot of time at the bakery, had coffee and donuts there at least twice, bought cake to take back to camp, bought the best Artisan bread we have tasted, $3 a loaf, lovely sour dough taste.
We've moved to Walker Flat further up the Murray and found a lovely spot, other caravans here but nice and quiet. Walker Flat has a ferry crossing, riverside cafe and store and a general store.
Yesterday we stayed around camp but today we took a drive to Swan Reach a town further up the river, checked out the camping areas there in case we decide to stop there and had beer at the hotel. Brian is making a bread dough tonight, will leave it in the fridge and prove tomorrow and all being well we will have fresh bread!! Neighbours had their generator going today and allowed us to plug in to keep our battery charged
