Weather forecast people covered themselves from rain to sunny skies just so the can take credit for getting something right. At home we had cloudy skies which cleared to a sunny day as we travelled to our destination 190 kilometres away.

Our first stop was at Burra which is not quite the mid point for this ride and a chance for some breakfast and a nature stop.
Our bike parked across the road from the town hall before went to the local BP to get something to eat and drink.
The Burra creek reserve is next to the car park (behind me) in the above image and a couple of local residents seem to be admiring the view.
After our hunger had been satisfied it was back on the road again and plain sailing across to Morgan were we need to cross the River Murray by ferry.
Looking back from were we go onto the ferry and about halfway across.
On the ferry with a newer model of our Ford Territory in front.
Only about 15 minutes away from our destination as we got off the ferry but sometimes a good day can be upset a little because a little way up the road we needed to slow for an accident scene.
One of our club members had come off his bike while trying to avoid a flock of birds. He was okay with only bruises and maybe a dislocated finger. He remembers braking and a patch of gravel which possibly caused the bike to slide out from underneath him.
Caudo Winery is where went to and here are some images of the place.
This looks like the shop for their wine sales with the kitchen area up there as well.
The winery has access from the river as well with a small wharf for tour boats.
with various other boats anchored along the river bank.
On the other side of the river is a sand bank which would be nice place to lay in the sun and get burnt.
We were at the end of a row of sheltered tables
Not often I get Heather next to the bike.
On the way home we had brief stops at Morgan and Burra and after stopping at our local supermarket we arrived home at about 5:00 pm.
