Paddle boat

River Murray, South Australia
These boats have been working the river for near on 200 years. Not sure how old this particular boat is

Nice shot. What a lifestyle this has to be. This looks like a mosquito haven though. :)

Great shot, brings back some pleasant memories thanks for sharing. The river and the boats have an interesting history, I saw the Marion when we did a cruise on the Murray Princess but she was not steam driven like the Marion.

Thanks Mitch and Bruno

Magic, Peter

I've been meaning to get down that way to do one of the self-drive river cruises.

I'm a bit more determined now! ;)
