The weather gods are smiling down on us this weekend. She will be reaching the thirties by Friday and the mercury will keep rising up over the long weekend. UV will be high on Friday and Saturday so ‘slip slop slap’ and take care out in the sun. Also, remember to keep hydrated.
This weather is calling for some river action. Now is time to put the boat back in the water and take them family out for a cruise. If you don’t have a boat we recommend giving River Gum Cruises a call. Let James and Sandra take you out on the Murray River in their 10 person boat. They even do day cruises to Caudo Vineyard. Ph. 0477333896.

During early spring when the temperatures start to rise so do the number of snake sightings. Now is great time to clean up the backyard; cut the grass short, tidy sheds and eliminate sources of cover where snakes can hide.
As the weather is warming up the fish should be coming on the bite! So get down and chuck a line in with the kids.
Erected late 1901 the original windmill was located riverside and was used to irrigate the homestead and garden to sustain the many Rose bushes which flourished there, hence the property was known as “Rose Farm”.
In the Flood of 1956 the windmill was seen slashing through water and was lost. In 2000 a replica windmill was re established in the highest point of the vineyard paying homage to the hard laborious years of the early pioneers. The Windmill is now a recognised icon from roadside for the Caudo Vineyard resplendent in its Yellow black and red paint signifying a giant sunflower.
It can also been seen in the eyes of the Sangria Skull.
Thank you.
