The tour was an interesting adventure of a very special place, the Coorong. Our tour guide Alex was excellent, knowledgeable and very helpful. A little slipperry getting in the water but that was part of the adventure. I have never seen the mouth of the murray and Alex explained to us that the Coorong is at risk of salinity because of low flow from the murray. I really appreciated the explanations Alex drew in the sand as it is difficult to visualise how water currents, Murray flow and tidal movements affects not only the coastal dunes and sand movements but the entire ecosystem of the Coorong. I found it interesting that the Mouth of the Murray can move 50m in a year. Amazing part of South Australia. My favourite part was watching the Pelicans fly. Thanks Alex.
