Today’s live report covering the run to the historic Murray River port of Mannum will be short & sweet because Peter & myself are due to board the period-style Captain Proud Paddle Wheeler this evening for a 3-hour dinner cruise on the “MIGHTY” Murray River.

Do you recognise the SQUIRE from the SHIRE !!! This photo [above] was taken while preparing for the day's tour at the muster point at Meet Headquarters Unity College at 0830 this morning.

Today’s drive was a leisurely tour winding through the beautiful countryside north of Murray Bridge, covering 140 delightful kilometres finishing up in Mannum. About 80 kms from Adelaide, Mannum is peaceful river community that supports a population of around 2,300 people.

Located on the Willow and Gum tree-lined broad banks of the Murray River, Mannum is where 150 Model A Fords & their passengers gathered to enjoy an pleasurable lunch on the lawns of delightful Mary Ann Reserve.
Mary Ann Reserve is adjacent to the town's business centre and provides 350 metres of lawned area and recreational facilities right next to the expansive banks of the Murray River.

How impressive do the 150 Model A Fords look parked on the football oval taking a break for morning tea. We then returned to head back to our base of Murray Bridge by crossing the “MIGHTY” Murray River on the free Ferry.
Gotta go.
Cheers
