Now we watch so the Murray River, on whose shores we settled down the night before. Early on the morning of the sound can be heard by a lively boat traffic. Scarcely left our abode, we can already see the first sport boats with water sports (water skiing or wakeboarding) in tow around on the jet flow. As a regular water-driving on the lake, it itches quite beautiful in their veins, finally something to do again! Finally, it was August, when the last time we stood on the stage, for the summer of 2008 in Central Europe was known to be much too short!
After a leisurely breakfast we explore the small village in the (now dominant) High Season all of the water-sports enthusiasts seems to be taken. We want to know where you can live as a guest of the activities of our desire. The local information center is allowed to us to know that there is an organizer, and the boat driver is included equipment. You have to know that in Australia the water scene is not like us at Club-organized moderate. As everybody who's doing like, a private boat with equipment! All speak very private and separated. Said organizer is just not present, only the answering machine answers. We keep looking ... and ask about the local boat representative if he would be like if he could. He would, however, can not because his non-boater is out there and only a few days will be on site. It is offered us to rent a boat with equipment for one day, which would cost about 600 AU $. Oh, good heavens, we can book for that amount in Europe for two people during a week of training camp in Italy! It appears that the world is not at all well with us and my slowly makes itself felt a certain disappointment wide. It is probably at the scene, where's all do what he does himself happy, but one can not, because no one seems to listen to our wishes? So we spend the day trying to sit on the bank, watching a bit of shopping essentials and to be careful that not even frustration arises.
shall deduct one days into the country, which one would really like to design more active. Since our used clothes seems to slowly take the upper hand and also the beds once again by the smell and the remains of the great outdoors will be free, we decide to go to the local campground for the purpose of handling general laundry work. All evening we are busy trying to refresh our "stöffigen" companion. Not so easy, because you at local campgrounds - can only wash with cold water - as we did not quite say without anger. Not really a hit, for stubborn dirt travel, can be to eliminate hardly satisfactory. So we spend much of the evening time trying to keep the machine going and it with dozens of liters of hot water, "black" refill. After all the work cheaper wages: the result of our efforts speak for themselves and even smells uncommonly graceful! :-)
the next day morning we take things comfortably, it can be seen not before 9.00 am outside the car. Then showers and eating times pleasant tomorrow. No sooner are the culinary belongings on the table is already camping neighbor Mr. angetigert and asked about the basis of our license plate on the car, whether we could now actually from the north of the continent up here deep in the South are down (our car is provided with the license plate NT for "Northern Territory") and what we look for in heaven's here on the Murray River? First, we clarify that we are not Australians (our car without owner you realize the advertising that is thankfully not!) And from the area here are incredibly impressed by the river, which seems to impress the Lord to the 60 tremendously. It is further stated that we are looking for a way to do water sports, even though we had no boat and no boards there. And be boats raise and driver for "Otto-Normal-earning ratios" practically impossible.
The gentleman from Adelaide, of about 20 years since his summer holiday in the said camp and therefore spends almost every knows that walking around here, they will take our need to immediately and assured us that he would definitely find someone who could give satisfaction to our desires!
He was right, a half hour later, we have the desired contact to be a holiday spent with family sports boat, offering us your Zugsdienste. How come we buckle up after lunch and wakeboard vest and let us move along the river by the fresh water. How wonderful it is to enjoy this wonderful area to flow on the wakeboard, and tensions in the sporting the muscle to feel!
After a long round on the water, we begin the early evening with a relaxing aperitif in the river, where we watch the last activity on the water. Then makes hungry, so we soon see the next barbecue and cook the well-earned dinner. We get to know Uwe, who with his partner Judith already about the 3rd Time Australia visited. They live just around the corner, namely in Ueberlingen or Friedrichshafen, just above the Lake Constance. After dinner we spent a very pleasant four rounds of red wine and plenty of notice that a lot of interests and views coincide exactly. Already plans are made, in what form you want to meet again at home, whether for biking (Uwe has a mountain lodge in the Vorarlberg Alps) or be it for water sports on Lake Constance.
Oh by the way: before dinner was Jim briefly for a beer on a visit, Jim was the one who pulled us in his boat across the River. He offers us that we - if we would like - the next day, of course, happy to once again allowed to drive a round! Then of course we come back here and spend the next day just like the last one. Comfortably stand up, sit by the river, swim or refreshing swim straight across the river and back and on top of an extensive Round on the water! As the end of the day we come also to enjoy a very nice invitation from Judith and Uwe for dinner, where we charge for fresh salads, grilled beef and a lot of our power again. Thank you both, nice to know you have learned, we look forward to seeing you at Lake Constance and / or on the biker Hütt'n (see, http://blog.ozmania.de).
And so the days go by on the Murray River as in flight. A rewarding, varied and, above all, sporting action. Far from the usual with Australia's arid or semi-arid lands and endless ocean beaches and cosmopolitan big cities. A river landscape with green Banks and a lot of house boats that are comfortable chugging upstream-and down the road and enjoy the tranquility of the longest and most important river in Australia. Its shores are lined with water from the green, a little further, in stark contrast to the dry, almost steppe-like landscapes, marked by long dry periods. Precious is the water of the Murray, has a vast region of South Australia (including a large portion of the lower city of Adelaide) are supplied with drinking water and be responsible is that thrive in many places, cornfields and orchards.
And so we move on the morning of 12.01.2009 on. Away from the reaches of the Murray River, whose existence we have enjoyed and whose waters are much Has prepared for fun. We continue our route to the Great Ocean Road, the most photographed coastal region of Australia. We hope for good weather, we know that the situation in the south coast - along the Great Ocean Road - can be incredibly unstable, and clouds. Let's hope for good weather and that you are again with us. Thank you for your being there - and the really very pleased - and see you soon!
