The World's Largest Lobster and Murray River

One of the more prominent destinations in the state of South Australia, Murray River stretches all the way from the border of New South Wales, across the entire state of Victoria, and ends with its mouth at South Australia close to Adelaide. A popular location for water-based activities like boating, canoeing, fishing and going on river cruises, the river's waters are pretty placid most of the time. While it isn't quite as wide or broad as the Mississippi or Missouri, it does evoke that sense of riverine adventure with Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer floating along on an old-style river boat.

As in most stop-overs,  a playground is here to keep little ones entertained.  In this case, my wife decided to join in the fun.

Nothing like pies to fill those hungry tummies after a morning's peaceful stroll.
