Just want to let everyone know how welcome I was made on my unexpected visit to Palmer SA and the Murraylands Gem and Mineral Club located there. SWMBO and I are travelling at the moment and were free camping at the Palmer Rec ground, when we noticed a building with bars on it. A couple of days later people started tuning up there and it turns out its the clubrooms of Murraylands Gem club.
What a lovely, welcoming bunch of people I met including Dughug, who was very helpful and generous with his time. Anyway just wanted to publicly thank them for their company and and the use of their shower!
They have a show type thing in May and we could well be that way next year.
By the way the free camping area is really quiet, has clean toilets and is located in a very old olive grove! Handy to the Adelaide hills and Mannum on the Murray River.
