Heading to Cockburn

A busy morning! Major rush to the loo again (1/2 mile away) with Frankie in tow. Stopped in the dog park on the return journey, so Frankie was happy. The battery has failed, so no hot water or power. I had to ask Fiona if I could have some hot water to wash the dishes. Ian and Greg went into town to try and buy a new battery from Dusty. Initially this was a no....but about an hour later, Dusty rang to say he had it. We finished packing up and headed, with van in tow, into Peterborough to pick up the new battery. Then we were on the road in convoy, to Cockburn. The pub (called Coburn) had a warm fire, allowed dogs in, and had a friendly publican called Ian! The town had created a community society, which offered cheap camp sites with toilets and hot showers for $25. There was another Cafe just 500m or so down the road from the pub, called the Border Gate, which was in NSW. Greg remembers having his photograph taken with one leg in SA, and the other in NSW.Read more
