Goolwa, Crabtree Farm

From Rupanyup we headed to Horsham, stopping for a coffee and re-stock of supplies before driving to Keith (SA) where we stopped for the night at the Showgrounds.

Crossed the River Murray on the ferry at Wellington accompanied by a semi trailer, that squeezed on!!.  Checked out the free camp spot at Langhorne Creek (quite nice) before driving to Goolwa, had lunch then set up camp at Crabtree Farm where stayed 5 nights.  Lovely rustic feel and great hosts Michael and Vicki (owners of Goolwa Heritage Bakery).  Had a great stay enjoying some sunshine, some rain plus endued a big storm which rocked the van quite a bit!  Was frequent visitors to the Bakery - great square pasties plus vanilla slices yum, yum!  During the storm night our hosts cooked wood fired pizzas then went into Michael's 'Man Cave' where we warmed up with a great combustion heater oh! and a few red wines!!

Our ferry ride at Wellington was a bit squeezey
