South Australian Wooden Boat Festival Pics

Where we sit, today, it's freezing cold and there is no sailing in sight for at least the next six weeks. And even then, we imagine dry suits will still be involved. However, in the Southern Hemisphere, things are much different. So we're choosing to focus on that.

The South Australia Wooden Boat Festival was held at the Goolwa Wharf Precinct in the Fleurius Peninsula near the River Murray. The festival showcases the river's most diverse gathering of wooden river vessels, from kayaks and sleek classic speedboats to paddle steamers.
