This cruise
takes you north on the great Murray River from the historic riverport
of Mannum to Blanchetown. Experience the magic and majesty of
the spectacular scenery, from towering cliffs to expansive wetlands.
Mid-afternoon
the PS Murray Princess departs historic Mannum, birthplace of
the Murray River trade and communication, and heads upriver while
you enjoy pre-dinner drinks and a Welcome Dinner.
As we cruise under floodlight to our overnight mooring at Caurnamont
you may see nocturnal wildlife on the riverbank. Watch for grey
kangaroos, hair-nosed wombats, Murray longnecked tortoises, spoon-beaked
echidnas and many other species. (Our on-board entertainer provides
music for the night owls.)
Daybreak
and time for the keen photographers to be out to capture the special
light and the morning movement of wildlife. Prolific birdlife
includes pelicans, blue wrens and black swans. We cruise upstream
to Blanchetown, through one of 13 locks which maintain the flow
and levels of water. Shortly we reach Salters Station for our
overnight anchorage. This evening, as the last rays of the sun
fade, we join a guided tour of Burk Salter’s vineyard on
the banks of the river and enjoy wine tasting at his cellar door.
Tonight is fancy dress night on board. (Bring your own or hire
one.) We also have our famous musical quiz.
After
breakfast join a guided walk along the eco-sensitive wetlands
of Salters Station. While we cruise downriver after lunch you
can enjoy an afternoon nap, watch the landscape slide by, or enjoy
a lifestyle and info-cruising presentation. We arrive at Sunnydale.
All ashore for the Woolshed Sound & Light Show as we recreate
typical Australian woolshed history. Later we visit the Native
Wildlife Shelter where some of South Australia’s most interesting
native animals are cared for. And then, of course, there is the
great Aussie Barbecue – cooked and served in a bush setting
on the banks of the mighty Murray River. After dinner, join us
on a nocturnal eco-tour by tractor and cart.
After
breakfast the ship cruises slowly downstream past magnificent
cliffs scoured by the river over millions of years. We reach Ngaut
Ngaut Aboriginal Reserve, one of Australia’s most significant
archaeological sites, for a step back in time – tens of
thousands of years – for a guided boardwalk to view ancient
rock carvings and to learn about aboriginal history in the area.
We return to the ship to cruise downriver to Younghusband.
Along
the way, adventure seekers can also take a speed boat ride. We
pass large billabongs, open expanses of water, surrounded by cliffs
and reeds. Tonight the Captain and his officers host a spectacular
Farewell Captain’s Buffet. Dress up and dance, if you wish.
After
breakfast, PS Murray Princess arrives at Mannum where we reluctantly
say farewell.
(additional
cost)
Discover Australia’s
richest and best known wine making region – the Barossa
Valley. Depart Mannum by coach where you will be transferred directly
to your Barossa Valley tour at Williamstown. The tour includes
three premium wineries, lunch and free time in Tanunda before
returning to Adelaide at 5.30pm.
