Exploring the Coorong
08 Apr 2013
Highbury Probus visited the river Murray mouth and Coorong area on a day cruise on the Spirit of the Coorong from Goolwa.
The group travelled from Adelaide to spend a great day cruising the River Murray mouth and Coorong on board the Spirit of the Coorong
Members saw lots of birds, the Feathered variety, some of which had migrated from Siberia, thousands of Pelicans and other varieties of our native sea birds with seals lazing on the barrages.
The group explored the sand dunes of the Coorong and learnt about the original occupants and their way of life, and the development of the cockle harvesting industry.
Lunch was delicious and the commentary provided by the crew was most informative and interesting.
