Masters Landing, Gunbower

Getting there

About 30km from Eucha along the Murray Valley highway towards Kerang, Right into Torrumbarry Weir road (signposted –mobile phone tower on the left) travel along to the weir entrance is on the left and another 3km to Masters landing site a number of camp areas along the river’s edge all along this road camp grounds are signposted.

Set off from home for another weekend  we got about 750m from home then remembered we may not have packed the fly-spray so a quick turnaround back and noticed that the garage door was left open from when we pulled the trailer out (good decision) as these would have stayed open all weekend otherwise

Arrived mid-morning and proceeded to set up the camper and make home for 2 nights right along the river bank, set up chairs and watched the world go by, an afternoon of dips, cheeses, snacks followed by watching around 20 Kangaroos coming down the river edge in the afternoon for a drink. BBQ dinner of chicken and salad followed by a number of drinks under the stars, limited internet coverage which was annoying Linda as you got to have internet when you’re camping!!!

Woke Saturday morning customary bacon, eggs,tomato and toast cooked for breakfast on the Webber. Had some issues with both fridges (one for food and one for Linda’s grog) cutting out due to low voltage from the batteries turned everything off and tried to get the solar back into the batteries and charge up so there was enough to keep both fridges going. Early afternoon the temp reached around 36deg with only 1 fridge working (we made the decision the drinks were more important than the food) so we kept this fridge on power.

Set up the new screen annex wall that we had to have replaced due to a problem with the zipper when we first brought the camper, this worked quite well now and will be a great addition in enabling to have set up with no fly’s around all the time under the annex.

We decided around1pm that with the temp getting hotter and the power issue would be better just packing up and heading home. Packed everything up probably in the hottest part of the day with no shade covering the camper got home around 4pm unpacked.
Sunday set up the solar to the camper and is charging at a great rate from 11.7v to 12.3 in around 2 hours, now spend the day fully charging the batteries ready for Aust day weekend
