The Gawler Ranges After the extended time we’d spent in SA, I thought it was fitting that we spend some time just chilling. The Gawler Ranges NP seemed just the place for that. Great location, kangaroos, emus and birds for me, and lots of hills to climb for Peter. There are a few walking …
As navigator, it’s my responsibility to boldly take us where we have never gone before. So, I did my research and found us a great spot for our first night out of Coffin Bay. As we drove north-west towards Drummond Point, Peter started making noises about having been here before. I of course, vehemently …
The Port Lincoln Tourist Park has to be one of the best caravan parks we’ve stayed at to date. The sites are huge, level, and well-spaced, offering great views of Spencer Gulf from most sites so we were pleased to be spending eight days there. We used Port Lincoln as a base to explore …
Eyre Peninsular After two years of trying to get to Western Australia, we are finally heading in the right direction. We left Adelaide on the 18th July and we are not going back. Don’t get me wrong, we loved our time in Adelaide and our time exploring SA but…it is time to move on. …
Ok, so my last blog post was about five weeks ago, (sorry about that). And that begs the questions, where have we been, and what have we been doing? There’s a lot to fit in but I’ll try to keep it brief. We wanted to make the most of our last days in Barmera …
We have never been to a sheep dog trial before, so were thrilled when we drove into the town of Barmera, and saw signs posted all over the place about the upcoming sheep dog trial. We were curious to see what the poor dog had done, if he was going to be found guilty …
Finally, all our repairs and maintenance are complete. 😊 The car has had its bit of body work done, we have a fridge that works properly now and, we have a brand-new awning. On top of that I have a new storage system for my boxes of tinfoil, glad-wrap and baking paper, courtesy of …
May 1, 2023 FROM THE OUTSET I must tell you that this is not a ‘Jo type’ blog. It’s far less interesting – unless you want to know something about how much this lifestyle costs. Jo said to me: “Why don’t you do a kind of anniversary post for the blog? But don’t go …
We had a week in Adelaide, or home as we now call it, but it was mostly run-a-round stuff. Including the usual doc visits, plus hearing aid repairs and new glasses for Peter. We also had to get the van assessed for a new awning, get the car in for a bit of body …
Clayton Bay I mentioned we met some lovely people while on Kangaroo Island, and we really hit it off with one couple in particular, Linda & Tim. They kindly invited us to stay with them on their property at Clayton Bay, and we took them up on their offer. Where’s Clayton Bay? I hear …
