We should call him Snake, not Tiger
South Australia is houseboat heaven. Surely they must be in the Top Five holidays destinations for the people of this state. From the small one room fits all with a tiny balcony, to the modern three-story mansion on floats, there is something to suit everyone.
Today I passed through the final lock, Lock 1. Albeit small, the amount of fish jumping I noticed today was greater than anywhere else along the river. Every couple of minutes, one would break the surface. However, hardly any fishermen hunted these underwater creatures.
Water skiing boats are highly common in these parts which is surprising as the wind is stronger here. I assume this is because the river is wider and straighter, and it is closer to the coast. School holidays began on Friday last so maybe that has something to do with the influx of ski boats.
The last two nights I have set up camp on private property after receiving permission from the owners. Unlike Victoria this state is all private property along the banks and thus, areas to set up my tent are not common.
As I write this, there is a mosquito in my tent and he is harassing my ears. Hopefully I will have the patience to find him and kill him before I lay my head to rest.
