Just completed a 5 day cruise from Kingston to blanchtown with regular passengers. Akuna station cliffs, magnificent. Riverglen Gallery with Liz and Clint for afternoon tea. Straight through the navigation pass at lock 2. Rain stopped our campoven night but we still had other nights for camp-fires. Great trip and all departed Saturday from Blanchtown.

Just like to thank our passenger, Teresa, for the wonderful gifts she made for us. Koala pillow has captain Jack embroidered on it. The koala mittens are heat proofed. Thanks mate.

Wonderful cruise and the weather held off, so we got our camp-fires.

We just returned this morning, from our cruise to the border and back. Thanks Tour Local from Packenham for dropping 12 passengers off to us last Tue. What a great group. Safe return.

Have been on the slip to do our out of water survey last week. Also put some blue lights under the River Lady. Expecting Tour Local Tue to do our first cruise for 2021. Let's hope the weather doesn't get too hot.

26/02/2021

Hi everyone. The weather is nearly perfect to start cruising again. We will be on the Berri Slip next week to do our out of water survey, then covid permitting, we start our 2021 cruises. We are fully booked until the end of may. We have some time available in Sept and would like to do a 5 day cruise from Renmark to the border and back with a mixed group as we already have a few people waiting for a mixed cruise. Enquire now and book a cabin. 0407420404 Itinerary to be done after we finish on the slip. Stay safe

Our local koalas have the joey's out now and moving around a lot. If you see any who have moved into dangerous situations...ie.. near a road or in town call Jack or Vicki Gibb 0407420404. As the weather warms up, if you have koalas in your area please leave water under trees for them. If your container is wide enough you may be lucky enough to see them sitting in it. Remember to refresh it. From now until end Feb is when they are most vulnerable. Let's keep them safe.

Everyone enjoying the perfect weather, on route to Loxton today.

30/07/2020

With all the extra time we have had because of the cancelled cruises, we have got ahead with all the maintenance and alterations. The console has changed colour and the wheel revarnished along with lots of other painting. Won't be long. Cruises start with our 8 day to Morgan, Sept 4th. We have 2 cabins avail because we can only take SA people with us now. Ph 0407420404

04/06/2020

Well I do have something nice to say. We have started to reschedule the cruises that were cancelled. We will be cruising from Sept 4th. Phone Vicki if you want to join one of our cruises. 0407420404.

11/05/2020

Let's leave it a little bit longer to re-schedule your cruises. I hope we don't have a 2nd wave of the virus but on a boat is the last place you want to be if we do. Will start contacting you all, at the end of the month if everything is still going well.

28/03/2020

Like everyone. We have postponed all our cruises.

14/01/2019

We don't start cruising until Mid March, as you would have noticed, the weather is just a little too hot to enjoy to the fullest. Have spent some time on maintenance and renewing our survey, including a new front verandah. First half of the year is fully booked, so anyone thinking of cruising this year, give us a call soon. I have attached a few photos of late 2018 cruises... just so you dont forget us, during our break. Looking after a small koala who fell out of a tree, with dehydration. She is recovering fine and hope to release her next sat, if the weather does really cool down. Should put a photo but they are all on the phone and I'm on the computer at present. Next time.

Once again we had a wonderful cruise with the New Zealanders. Renmark to the Vic/SA border and back to Renmark.

25/10/2018

This week gone, Town and Country Friends mystery holiday, on the river Lady.

21/07/2018

This lady is called chicken nanna...so the only thing we could do was to introduce her to the chookman. Thanks frank for the entertainment.

07/06/2018

Just got back from a 5 day upstream cruise, where we managed to cruise to the border and back to Renmark. The following photos can say more than I can about the fun we had. I should have had sound on. I think all our ribs are sore from laughing 😂. I just realised half the photos are still on my camera so this will be the first lot from our last cruise.

Hi, Summer is well and truly over and we are busy cruising again. For you customers that dont realise, our weather is dry and quite often over 40 in summer. Therefore we only cruise from March each year. I will add some photos of recent cruises, so you can see what we get up to, as soon as I download them onto the computer. See you soon

14/09/2017

Some more photos of the last cruise with our passengers from New Zealand. We were lucky enough to have the Renmark Dinghy club doing an endurance competition, while we were near one of the creeks they were exiting, so I have included a few of those photos as well. After watching these boys racing, Jack took some of our passengers for a dinghy ride up the Amazon creek, for a bit of excitement.

14/09/2017

We have just returned from a 5 day cruise with 12 great New Zealander's. John took this photo and sent it to me. Its too good not to share with you all. It was taken up a Bunyip Reach cliffs. We stayed there overnight with the campfire and campoven dessert. I will also share a couple of my photos of the same cruise but I will put them after this post, not to steal his thunder.

It is so beautiful on the river in Winter. The early morning mist laying around the water and the chance to sit around the campfire and enjoy the yarns. It is harder to get passengers to leave their homes in winter so we only have a couple of cruises for June/July. We have purposely not booked any cruises for August as this is our month for survey and maintenance. I will put a few photos of the last cruise with the Morphettvale probus club. Photo includes our visit to Tony Smith's Art gallery in lyrup for a look and afternoon tea, a walk to see an old steam engine at coongaleena and just some beautiful photos of nature at its best. Our next cruise is a Xmas in July and should be heaps of fun. We are just getting the menus finished now. The glazed ham, campoven turkey and we are even including a dinner of local farmed Murray Cod. You have to try this to believe how good it is. Yum.

Trevor & Jodie Koala's release

Trevor the Koala was rescued up near Coongaleena in a small sapling in the high river....Not sure how he wandered so far but probably hasn's seen another koala for a long time. On our last cruise with passengers, the Jones hospitality group, we rescued him and bought him back to Renmark in 2 washing baskets (one we obtained from Marg Smith at the Art gallery in Lyrup) Jake, our son, had rescued a distressed female, while we were away. She was nursed back to health, so we decided to do our 1st, double release, in a beautiful, secluded, part of Zangari Island.(opposite Renmark). After this video, we headed for the cars only to hear that Trevor had raced down the tree to do some immediate loving with his new friend. I may get the video Jack took and put it on at a later date....Talk about Koala porn..and what a noise..LOL
