What an AMAZING weekend. The poem below says it all.

The 'Misty Dawn",

She's moving on,

Down the Mighty Murray.

We're all aboard,

Four land all told,

And no one's in a hurry.

Adventures unfold,

For the young and the old,

And time is of no matter.

Shall we have some wine?

What is the time?

Half past or quarter to...

Either one will do.

Captain Bob in command,

With wine in all hands,

We watch this glorious land.

Cliffs of sandstone,

Reeds of green,

And, oh, the many birds we've seen,

Cliff dwelling ducks,

Welcoming swallows,

Cormorants, pelicans, whistling kites,

but the best were the Frogmouths,

we saw in the night.

Yellows, reds and oranges glow,

The sun it sets,

And the river still flows.

We moor the boat,

Slip on a coat,

And search the shore for wood.

Exchangees unite,

We share through the night,

Our stories, thoughts and ideas,

Laughter abounds,

As friendships are found,

Along the Mighty Murray.

The Crew Bob, Margot, Karina, Elyssa, Evan, Brigitte, Patrice, Manon, Chris, Lin, Maya, Bernadette
