Narrung Jetty

The weather was going to improve in the next few days so we turned around and drove up to Narrung which is on Lake Alexandria near the mouth of the Murray. The campsite was great, we especially enjoyed the wonderful green soft grass and got a camp spot right near the lake, not far from the jetty.
This is a free camp which you can stay at for 3 days and as we needed to be in Murray Bridge not until 5 days later we thought this was a good place as we could use the kayaks too.
The reason we needed to be in Murray Bridge is to get a new bank card for Lloyd who misplaced his wallet. You can imagine that this has caused some stress as the caravan and car were pulled part numerous times to try and find it with no luck. Nevermind!!!
Over the 3 days numerous other campers came in and went and we enjoyed camp fires with some which seems odd to us considering the fire bans. However you can have fires unless it is a total fire ban day, at least here we were near water.

The weather was clearing and we loved our spot.

We enjoyed kayaking over the lake to see the lighthouse. It is the smallest and only lighthouse on a fresh water lake in Australia and now does not work, they have a light on a pole instead.

We had fun kayaking among the reeds. This is taken from the lighthouse and this area is called the Narrows which is between Lake Alexandria where we were and the smaller Lake Albert. The water level is good at the moment but when we visited the Murray River in 2008 this area had no water at all. See our kayaks on the bank?

The house behind was being renovated and is privately owned, the lighthouse is a popular place for visitors. I am not sure if I would want my holiday house so close to a public spot. The renovation looks fantastic and they get amazing views.
