Into The Coorong SA

The Coorong is a series of lakes and lagoons created by the Murray river system. With it' sand dunes, primitive plant life, and bizarre salt marshes,it's diverse landscape gives it a prehistoric feel. The warm wind whips across the flat and the remoteness is haunting.

We took the 42 mile crossing.  We spotted a couple of emus nonchalantly waltzing across the burgundy coloured flats. Perfectly blending in to the landscape, a pair of roos watched us with suspicion. I took a snap and hadn't notice the second little roo until I later edited the snap.

 By evening we had tucked into a sand dune with our caravan. We unhooked and took an evening drive down the beach. The southern seas tossed wildly on our right as we drove down the miles of beach. The beach is the only access through to the mouth of The Murray on the eastern side of the Coorong.
