Well, after 91 days and over 17,000 kilometres, I got home at about 10.30 this morning.
A quick trip up from Bulahdelah Golf Club free camp and back to reality.
What a great trip!
Thanks to my fellow travellers, Trevor and Julie. You made the trip much better!Leggi altro

Another travelling day. Waikerie to Sea Lake
Trevor needed a lesson in following today as he missed the first turn right...
So we spent the whole day travelling different routes to Sea Lake 🤣
So last night together before we hit Wonga Park will be beer and pizza at the Royal hotel
Nice!Leggi altro

Left camp this morning for another travelling day.
Through Port Augusta, past Port Perie with a stop a nice little town called Spalding.
Travelled down to Waikerie, where we got the ferry across the mighty Murray River.
Free camp at the Waikerie Temp RV camp.
It's a bit cooler down here but very green and pretty with some good walks out the back of camp by the cliffs of the Murray.Leggi altro

Travelling day today.
Left Cooper Pedy today with Julie on the road to recovery.
Drove down through Glendambo, where we stopped for fuel for the cars and ourselves .
Went through Pimba and the turn off to Woomera.
Stopped off to view Lake Hart, which appeared out of nowhere looking majestic.
Quite a few salt lakes around here 🙂
We have arrived at Monalena Lagoon Rest Area where we are free camping the night.
About 100km short of Port Augusta.
So far, it looks good, but we are probably 200m from train tracks. Hopefully, not too many come thru tonight!
Fire going, chops for tea!Leggi altro

July 28th Coober Pedy
28 luglio 2023, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
A late start morning with Julie still a bit crook, so the 4 of us left her to rest while we took off for the Breakaways. These are a group of hills that have been left after some serious erosion and look a bit like Mars (so I'm told...) Anyway, you be the judge.
After that, we had coffee and a look through the Opal mining museum up here, which was excellent. Really told the story of the rich history of the place.
Back for a bit of a rest while Trev helped Geoff fix his van.
Another bbq dinner, and we will be off tomorrow heading further south while saying goodbye to Bronwyn & Geoff.Leggi altro

Rolled into Cooper Pedy today.
Unfortunately, it looks like Julie has what I had and is not well.
Got settled at Tom Cat Park which is on the side of a steep hill, overlooking the Breakaways.
A bit of shopping and Bronwyn and Geoff arrived.
A few beers and bbq tea after another glorious sunset!Leggi altro

July 26th - Matheson Bore camp
26 luglio 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Had some little visitors after sign off last night.
A family of four Kangaroo rats decided to come out and play!
Cheeky, with no real fear of us, they kept us entertained for hours.
Left Peterman rest area this morning and travelled back to the Stuart Hwy, where we turned south for home
After about 450km , we pulled up at another free camp, about 112km north of Coober Pedy.
Matheson Bore camp.
Off to Coober Pedy, where we will meet Bronwyn and Geoff for the next couple of days.Leggi altro

July 24th Uluru/Ayers Rock
24 luglio 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌬 18 °C
Arrived at Uluru today after a 460km trek from Alice Springs . I'm glad I was by myself, as the car needed a good air out after the troubles of the last few days...💨💨👃
It's a bit commercial here now with the only spot to stay being the Ayers Rock resort and campground. You can no longer camp next to the rock. We selected a couple of beautiful sites in the dustbowl paddock with no power or water, but at least the dunnies are within 2km. We were all allowed to pay only $45 each for that privilege!
Straight out to see the Sunset at the Rock, which we managed to livestream with Mum.
A bit more exploring around here and the Olga's tomorrow, and then we will head off for a free camp somewhere on the road heading home...
Ps: days down to 19c, nights down to 2c, windchill is high🥶🧊Leggi altro
