Yep, all the names listed above are those of the towns we visited... likely none of them with a population of above 250. Purnong was said to have a store, but we reached there midmorning and discovered... nothing but a ferry crossing... and a public restroom. We crossed over to use the facilities and chatted with a couple who had actually chosen to camp right there next to the public restroom... not on their way to somewhere, but for the upcoming weekend!
Bow Hill was a little better. Part of the riverfront was flooded, but there was a nice little warf and a shop at the top of a hill... a pretty stone shop where we bought lunch... Pie again for dirk, but a butterfish burger for me... and the man behind the counter kindly filled our water container from his rainwater tank in the back.
After Bow Hill, we continued on to Young Husband... where it was again getting decidedly cold. (Picture below included in case you don't believe that this really is the name of the town). Young Husband even had a caravan park, but we didn't stop as we wanted top get a little closer to Mannum.
The bottom picture is a closer one of some of the older chicks of those "belly flopping" birds I suspect to be cormorants.
