On a house boat

One of the features of the Edward River, and elsewhere for all I know in other parts of Australia, is the idea of having a flat bottomed boat with an outboard motor with effectively a cabin on top of the base. It travels at not much more than 4mph and sedately wanders up the centre of the river from one mooring place to another, with the occupants staying on board overnight to sleep. Wendy and Daren didn't have a cabin on the caravan park for the full week so they hired a house boat for four nights. They took us all out for an afternoon cruise. Many photographs were taken and a couple of videos. This set of clips shows examples of other "traffic" on the river, going much faster than us. I hate jet-skis!
