After Blanchetown I finally made it to Morgan. I investigated an old abandoned quarry I was told had fossils in it. I found this bank of pure oyster shells. This is the classic North West Bend Formation, these oysters grew in the same Pliocene estuary as those Fellasters I didn't find.

No fossils worth collecting, but I did see this beauty sunning itself despite the cold weather. It is a Tiliqua rugosa. #australianwildlife #murrayriver

Ok, so the site I wanted to visit ended up to be behind a gated private community, with big warning signs and surveillance cameras. So I nosed along the river and found a nearby road that cuts down through the rocks. #murrayriver #fossils🧵
I am about to embark on a solo journey through the marine fossil deposits of the Cenozoic Murray Basin. I'll try and live toot it from my crappy little phone but don't know if that will work. First stop are the Pliocene micaceous sands of the North West Bend Formation near Murray Bridge, where there the sand dollar Fellaster incisa can be found.

I’m feeling happy & content albeit with cold toes. I’ve had my first walk around the Murray this morning in nearly 3mths. It’s one of my favourite walks & an easy one. I felt the smile on my face as I was walked, aware of my really good mood doing something I love & absolutely rapt to see the kangaroos. I didn’t need to rug up as much as I did, it was cold & foggy but I soon warmed up. Can’t wait to make it a regular again. #MurrayRiver #WinterWalks
Murray River crayfish are in the news today.
Known as eukodko / ukodko Aboriginal women would catch them in Murray floodwaters by walking together in a close line.
Documented by E.J. Eyre, sketched by George Hamilton and painted 1844-45 by S.T. Gill.

Had a purely ‘for me’ day today, except for changing my sheets lol, but even that was for me. In the cool of the morning I went for a blissful walk beside the Murray river & loving what nature offered. This afternoon I went swimming at the Hume Weir, relaxing in the shade of a gum tree & reading. #thegoodlife #MurrayRiver #HumeWeir

Friday late afternoon chilling at Noreuill Park Foreshore. Then a float from Union Bridge along the Murray River back to the beach. Swimming the border - sort of.

Mighty Murray River at Murray Bridge starting to encroach on the lower areas near its banks. The peak is still to come.
