The City of Murray Bridge is located on the mighty Murray River approximately 80 kilometres east of Adelaide. Taking the freeway from Adelaide it takes just 45 minutes to arrive at Murray Bridge, which is an enjoyable drive with great scenery.
The Murray River is indeed a popular tourist attraction within South Australia - with Murray Bridge being the "crown" of the Murray Region, containing many attractions for people of all ages. With a great climate, the region hosts more than 1.1 million visitors every year for business and holidays. The Murray River is a picturesque site of houseboats and paddle steamers and happy, relaxed people. Sit back and relax while observing the beauty of this natural wonder.
Last month, we enjoyed a Captain Proud Paddle Boat 3 hour Sunday Champagne Breakfast Cruise. We bought a voucher from CUDO which cost us $39 for two instead of the usual price of $100. As we had to be on board on 9am, we decided we'd stay the night before so we could be up early.
On arrival each of the passengers were greeted with a glass of champagne or fresh juice before we enjoyed a hearty and fully cooked breakfast (especially made for Cudo customers!), comprised of bacon, eggs, sausages and fried tomato. Afterwards we had a fresh fruit platter that we enjoyed as we admired the spectacular views - and don’t worry about missing anything important either because the Captain provided commentary throughout the cruise!
After spending around half an hour looking for the best spot, we found a nice place to sit and set up our gear. David immediately baited the traps, hoping we would catch some yabbies for lunch.
We were so excited when we caught our first yabby. Unfortunately we didn't catch a lot. We only got 8 yabbies and 1 very unlucky fish that we were unable to eat (it was an Euorpean Carp, very bony). We were so disappointed, but haven't given up, vowing to come back and try again. ^_^
