The Coorong and Murray Lakes region is a vast unspoiled ecosystem comprised of freshwater lakes, wetlands, ocean beach and saltwater protected from the Southern Ocean by the sweeping sand dunes.
It is an important breeding area for the Australian pelican and a refuge for ducks, swans, cormorants, terns, grebes and over 230 migratory birds that travel annually from Siberia, Alaska, Japan and China. We saw heaps but were on the move in our little ferry so no fabulous rare bird pics. Not only did they film the movie Stormboy in the Coorong, the Coorong is a place of tranquility, solitude and wonderment. We absolutely loved it.
The town of Meningie next to Lake Albert was a great place to start our journey.
we've been "white-eyed" 
we were treated to some great sunsets
Catchin' the punt 
We jumped aboard the boat at Goolwa for the "Coorong Ultimate Cruise". It didn't disappoint.
