Big Bend

 Heading south there were many reminders on the riverbank of the problems the river flooding.

We visited the small settlement of Swan Reach that had a small population, a small motor museum and a number of houses that had spent some time underwater as a result of floods.

We visited one of many almond farms in the area and learned that the Australian industry is growing so fast it is approaching the production volumes of California.

We moored at "Big Bend" overnight.  This is the location of the tallest cliffs along the Murray.

A local entertainer came on board and sang with one of the chefs.

The boat's lights produced an interesting glow on the cliffs at night.
