A luncheon Murray River cruise on board the ‘MV Jester’, sites with glorious river views, an eclectic selection of antique and bric-a-brac shops, a fabulous butcher, and bakeries offering tasty morsels and the freshest of bread – what more could our ACC Sundowners need to make their April muster at the Mannum Riverside Caravan Park in South Australia a success!
Over the muster, our Sundowners also enjoyed dinner at the Pretoria Hotel, and a cooked bacon, sausage and egg branch community breakfast.
The muster also included a visit to the Mannum Dock museum boasting the Randell Dry Dock which was first used in 1876 and is the only remaining dock of this type on the River Murray. Pictorial and written information on the height of the various floods and how it impacted on the lives of the residents made very interesting reading.
