Haven't been here yet, but hopefully between xmas and New Year if the weather is OK.

Should get a feed of Big carp there Derek [smiley=chef.gif] ;D ;D I haven't read of any decent fishing reports from the lakes there.

My son's mate has a property on Lake Albert and just jumps in and grabs them for a bit of fun.

You are a lazy basket Dave

Lucky you are so tall, the fat distributes ;D ;D ;D

Great pic of the lighthouse. the square hole is the cave. the ferry lady said that years ago an aboriginal

family once lived in there.

Definately COG material this campsite ;)

Does it get very busy on long weekends???

Title: Re: Narrung Jetty Reserve
Post by Smokeydk on Jan 20^th, 2013 at 8:44am

Derek.....anywhere along SA coast normally is busy...including Riverland..especially cause its last weekend before schools go back on the 29th

Sorry Dave, we have planned a spruce up around my place this weekend. If you don't go away, let us know. Probably having an aussie day cook-up saturday arvo. Narrung on Adelaide Cup long weekend could be a goer though. Same dates as the national Cog

I left Narrung just before New Years Eve and it was half full. would guess a reasonable crowd on aussie day.

Remember a few years ago Dave and we had Lakeside camping ground to ourselves on the long weekend.
