Mannum, South Australia:
"Mannum is a historic town on the west bank of the Murray River in South Australia, 84 kilometres (52 mi) east of Adelaide. Mannum is the seat of the Mid Murray Council, and is situated in the state electoral district of Hammond and the federal Division of Barker." - Wikipedia.org
"The Aboriginal inhabitants and traditional owners of the vicinity now called Mannum were the Nganguruku (Nganguruga), part of the larger Ngayawung community. In 1830 the Sturt expedition passed through the area by boat. No Europeans visited again until 25 January 1838 when the expedition of Dr George Imlay and John Hill, on horseback from Adelaide, became the first to reach the Murray overland within South Australia. noted that the thriving Indigenous population were very keen fisherfolk."

Awesome ride! 🤔 That old railroad bridge looks familiar.
It's not SA without an abandoned stone building. Interesting ride JOM. I was wondering how LGC feels after her bike fit. Maybe let us know in a future vid, unless I have missed it.
I was expecting the see Max and Toecutter out in some of those roads.
Laying a rubber road to freedom!
I can’t tell whether it is coming or going
I should clarify, was a 5341, but nor any more. But on the Murray!
Is that a poisonous Gila Monster you are playing with?
Haha, negative. Blue tongue skink, pretty common in South Australia.
Me I'm a 5341
