Day Six - Caudo's Winery to Waikerie

Ramble's End

From Caudo's Winery, it was the longest and final leg via Lock 2 to Waikerie. In conjunction with SA Water, the RMBOA arranged for the Lock to remain open during the lunch break when it is normally closed. SA Water also provided extra lock staff to handle the large number of vessels that would be coming through.

With help from fellow Ramblers and the Lockmen, even novices to the locks had an easy passage through the Lock.

The fleet moored on the Waikerie river bank between the Murray Queen's mooring and the Ferry.

The final evening meal was catered by Lions with entertainment by the group "Cover Up". It was also a time to hand out awards and prizes for the various competitions such as the "Spot the Pelican" competition and the photography competition to name just a few.

After the formalities were concluded, Ramblers danced to the band, or socialised in groups before retiring for the evening.

In the morning, the Ramblers went their own separate ways, either going on to other destinations or heading back to their home port.
