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 …

Part Four – Stokes Bay & Chapman River Australia’s most beautiful beach? Well, it is quite lovely, and very unique. The bay is divided by a headland; one side the beach is more rocky than it is sandy, the other is mostly soft white sand, but the only way from one side to the …
Part Three – Western KI My last post was longer than normal, so to balance, this’ll be a short one. We stayed at the Western KI Caravan Park for three nights, there are kangaroos, birds, koalas, and a lovely lagoon there. Overall there was a really nice feel to the place. But, more importantly, …
Part Two – Vivonne Bay & Surrounds Vivonne Bay is on the south coast. It’s roughly the halfway mark east to west on the island and is a very pretty spot. The Harriet River flows from the north, its only about 5klms long and stops just short of the coast and occasionally, when the …
Part One – Getting There We’ve been wanting to visit Kangaroo Island, or KI as the locals call it, for some time now, so we finally bit the bullet and booked a trip on the KI ferry. For those of you who don’t know, Kangaroo Island is off the south coast of Australia, about …
