Narrung Again

Yes... we went back to Narrung this weekend...left home Friday the 24th and came home Monday 27th.
We actually had the area to ourselves..
Friday the sky was dark and there was a strong WSW wind so we parked by a row of trees to act as a windbrake...which worked well till Monday when the wind direction changed and almost blew our awning off..

 

 

Sunsets were spectacular.....

Ofcourse the view of the Lighthouse was great curtain times of the day

This is the second time we been here free camping this year....what a great spot on the Coorong SA

What a lovely little Park....green grass to park on......clean unisex toilets & showers

The Park was empty most of the weekend

A nice BBQ area too overlooking a man made lake...Lake Roberts
