Jamestown CP to Bottle Bend camp (on the Murray near Mildura ) Breaky this morning of Egg and Bacon wraps cooked in the excellent camp Kitchen at The Park at Jamestown. It had been a frost overnight, but we had our heaters and power so warm and toasty. Then a wander around town, it reminds…

Mount Ive Station campground to Jamestown. Reckon I was in the land of nod literally seconds after turning the light off. Well ahead of 10pm. The Bashers were still at it and there was a few drops of rain.Had kangaroos grazing in the campground this am and a couple hopped past me taking a pic…

Shelly Beach CP, Ceduna to Mount Ive Station campground. A slow start, awoke to groovy orange sunrise colours over the park. Richard came to say that he had no luck with Ceduna Toyota so had ordered the alternator from Auto Parts Plus and had a list of people to fit it. It should arrive tomorrow…

Today was up and out to the jetty to check sunrise. A bit late for the early orange colour. Then breaky, pack up and park the car and van to park in the Esplanade ready for our Whale watching cruise with Rod and Mya’s EP Cruises. (Bruce the decky) The cruise was unbelievable. We saw…

Nullabor Roadhouse campground to Fowlers Bay CP Packed up this morning unhitched the van and we backtracked the 72 kilometres to the Bunda cliff view point.

Baxter Cliffs dune camp to Border Village CP at the Roadhouse in Border Village. Up to start the day with sunrise over the dunes and a visit by the Pink Cockatoos. Then we headed out again. Back over the same terrain in reverse. Well, after a mighty total of 68.8 km yesterday and this morning,…

Cocklebiddy CP to Baxter Cliffs dune camp. A fair bit of phaffing and a slow start today. Samantha and Bruce were fed a kangaroo heart by one of the staff – evidently the kangaroo hunters drop off some hearts for the eagles. Stef had a look at his coolant leak – so much gunk and…

Rawlinna Campground to Cocklebiddy CP. Left this morning about 8:45 after a busy ‘phaffing day’ yesterday. We turned onto the Trans Access Road and followed beside the rail line for about 45kms on a good wide road with a few wet patches here and there. A lot more Roos around this morning Red and grey…

Rawlinna Campground. Well it did rain a little more last night and a fair wind. The van rocked a little bit. A couple of trains hurtled past. We were in bed early as the wind and rain sent us packing from the fire. I published a blog and was too tired to finish another. Up…
