Used Grand Cherokee Adelaide: Adelaide loves the river like a Jeep Grand Cherokee loves the road

Residents of South Australia know that things can get a little hot during the summer time. And with December 1st being the official start of the season, we can expect temperatures to climb over the next couple of months. So take on plenty of fluids and set the air-conditioning to high in the office. Keeping cool is the name of the game.

But if you’re not at work or you’re owed a little holiday time, what better way of cooling yourself down on a scorching day than a dip in the famous Murray River? The Murray winds its way through 600 km of South Australia. And, at less than two hours driver from Gillman and Adelaide, it’s the perfect destination for a day trip or longer adventure holiday.

To make the most of your time on the Murray you need to have an appropriate car. A little bit of luxury, like you might find in a Chrysler 300C, Jeep Cherokee Adelaide or Dodge Calibre should get you to your destination without too much discomfort. When temperatures get up to, and over, the 40˚ C mark, then air conditioning is a must have accessory. Even the two-hour drive to the Murray is going to be pretty unpleasant without it.

Once you reach the banks of the river, there are a whole host of things to do. But first, you’re probably going to want to cool off with a dip in the water. Once you’re sufficiently chilled out (in more ways than one), take the grille out the spacious boot of the Cherokee and set up for a family feast on the banks of the river. With such a huge cargo capacity in a used Jeep Cherokee from your Adelaide dealer, there’s not a lot you’ll have to leave behind in the city. Tow the jet-ski or bring the kayak on the roof rack for a truly spectacular day on the water. Or, if it’s a bit of peace and quiet you’re after, a day’s fishing will be a welcome break.

And at the end of the day, grab the camping gear and the esky from the back of the Jeep Adelaide, and set up camp for a night under the stars. The Murray is the perfect location for anything from romantic breaks to family getaways. And from Adelaide, it’s virtually on the doorstep.

So, next time you’re on the commute to work and you can feel the sun beating down, plan a weekend or week’s break away to the Murray and let the river take the heat for a while.
