Swan Reach - Murray River Free Camp / South Australia

The Tenbury Hunter Reserve is located on the western side of the River Murray at Swan Hill in South Australia. With the Reserve being on one side of the river and Swan Reach being directly across the water on the western side of the river, it offers free camping with the luxury of a town very close by. The camping area is within an east two hour drive from Adelaide.

I dont usually become homesick for Sth Aus, but this makes me want to see the River Murray again.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

The river is so majestic, just lovely to be around.

[@robertfantasticsinginggreatson]

Love your videos and the Murray river was 100 meters from my house in Mildura when l was younger

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Glad you like the videos Robert. Mildura holds some fond memories for Sally and I.

[@davidreader3198]

Another great video. Thanks Mick and as always best wishes from Rotorua

Thanks David, nice to hear that you are still enjoying the videos. All the best to you.

[@hennyspeyer4427]

In-laws used to have a holiday shack at Punyelroo. Lots of memories there. Went through a couple of floods as well and did a rebuild.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Floods are not very nice but the river has a character that seems to hold people there.

[@dougtilley5977]

Good to see you got the drone in action again

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

It is great, like a lead without a dog when it was out for repair.

Another excellent show. Good to see the drone back in action. What a shame you had to leave early. Looking forward to the house boat videos. Cheers Cheryl 🙂

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Glad you enjoyed the video. The day that we left was the better day of any on this trip as mentioned but there is always next trip. Our houseboat trip will be during the first week of July.

[@dougtilley5977]

My family never went to Swan Reach , back in the 1940's and 50's our favorite camp was Walkers Flat. Usually over Christmas .

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

So many good spots up that way.

[@darrylveale5816]

good video we have camped there heaps of times great spot

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

It is a great River camping location darryl with it's location.

Primo looking camping spot. I live in my caravan full time and drive trucks for a living. Watching in New Zealand.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Sounds like you have the best of both worlds Ryan, cheers.

[@dennisfromoz6436]

More magic moments...thank Mick & Sally. The river looks far cleaner than the muddy flats with receding tides up here in coastal north Queensland. Have no idea where the tourist promotion persons take photos of white sand beaches and Palms....LOL

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thanks Dennis, the photos must have come from somewhere you haven't seen lately up that way. At least you have the warmer weather to enjoy.

Love your work Mick I have many great memories of camping and caravanning with my parents as a kid before the other section was cut off and reclaimed by the natives then camping with mates and later in life camping by myself in the new area but I can't go there anymore Ive blown motors in two bikes and last time my van I think the road from sedan is cursed I wasn't driving silly all three lost oil for no real reason and blew the motors before I got to swan reach bizzare!!

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Glad you liked it Darryn, you would have some stories to tell around a campfire should you ever go camping again.

[@glenpennington8053]

Looks like king William St at 5pm 😅 thanks for your videos though, getting lot of valuable info

a mate of mine is the manager of the swan reach pub, a great pub, a great feed, what more can you want

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Great country pub with great views over the river while you eat.

Wow the Pub has a good set of Solar Panels..

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Just a few.

Bonsoir Mick & Sally. Merci pour votre vidéo intéressante. J'aimerais vraiment visiter l'Australie (enfin, une partie, l'Australie est si grande). Mais ou faut-il aller? A bientôt à l'occasion d'une prochaine vidéo. JPh de France. (petite question: vous parlez d'une température fraiche le soir. Quelle était la température? Était-elle habituelle pour la saison? MERCI !)

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Bonsoir Serial-Traileurs, greetings from the land down under, glad you found the video interesting. Australia has so much to see with it being so different in the north compared to the south. The temperatures would have been in the high teens during the days with it dropping to around 5 degrees during the nights which is normal for this time of the year as we are moving into our winter season.

Hey Mick I noticed your pedestal bbq again that you used on your Port Broughton video. I had one about 20 years ago but unfortunately sold it long ago. Do you happen to know the brand and name as I would like to see if I could get one on gumtree or marketplace?

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

It is hard to read due to wear and tear but I think the name on the upright pipe is "Hot Ozi BBQ" which sort of rings a bell with me. Sounds like ours would be of a similar age to the one you had.

[@bernzie001]

Hey mate, what did you use for the sun shades on your canopy and rear door windows?

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

The shades were purchased for a company in Queensland who trade under the name of "Solarscreen". If you google them they should come up.

[@kimpatersi6685]

The Takeaway shop opens at 9am. It is For Sale but it is still trading.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Cheers, I wasn't too sure about it.

[@scottadamson2431]

If everybody on the waterside had moved up instead of leaving gaps there would have been enough room for two more rigs in there.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Very true but no one wants to be crowded out. The odd camper came in and thought it was full and continued driving, similar to us 12 months ago.
