Heidenreich Family reunion at Salt Creek, SA


We travelled to Salt Creek, in the Coorong, SA for a Heidenreich Family reunion.   It was great to catch up with my Dad and my sister, as we didn't get to see them for Christmas.  It was also nice to catch up with my Mum's family - there was a  huge gathering of cousins and aunties and uncles .... 65 of us in total.  We booked out the Salt Creek caravan park and it was a great location.  Days were spent on the beach,  4WD driving on  sand, fishing and climbing the sand dunes.  The nights were spent sharing stories  and memories.


What do you think of Jim's Mulloway??  And yes it is true that we got bogged in the sand.  Twice.    But we managed to get out by ourselves with only a little bit of pushing by Carol and Helen, and letting the air out of the tyres.  I think Jim gets bogged on purpose because he enjoys the adventure.


If you have never been to the Coorong, it's definately a place to put on your bucket list.  It is an amazing place, unlike anywhere else that I have seen in the world.  The wind is ferocious, the shifting sands are soft and unpredictable and it's not a place to get lost.  But the colours and the scenery is spectacular.  Well worth a visit and only  10 minutes drive from Salt Creek.
