    Fighting off the dingoes. Travelled from Perth to Karalee Dam with lunch at Merredin. A moment of contemplation as we passed through Southern Cross-Was it always like that or is it just because Great Eastern Highway is so rough. They're doing roadworks now so hopefully it won't stay cross!Читать далее

    Played the Golden Eagles par 3 hole. Unfortunately no eagles but a dismal 5. Ball bounced off the green. Wedgies was home of a 25kg gold nugget. Julie found her own gold nugget 42 years ago weighing slightly more than 25 kilos. I've increased in value since thenЧитать далее

    Tortured myself with two more holes. Very good visitor centre where we learnt that Norseman was named after a horse-no not Eric. Apparently a guy called Lindsay was travelling to Esperance to see his brothers when the horse went lame. He checked out his hoof and there was a gold nugget lodged in it.Had lunch in Norseman and yet another dilemna- which one do I eat first- the chicken or the eggЧитать далее

    Fowlers Bay

    17 марта 2023 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌬 34 °C

    Booked into Fowlers Bay for a couple of nights. So far very windy but they say the fishing is good. I think you'll need a 12oz sinker just to get the line in the water. Nice looking jetty so might gi ve squidding a go later if thewind drops. Took the 2nd road in as was told the first would be rough. The road in was about 20kms and half was bitumen so no issue. It got to 43 deg. with hot northerly up to about 6pm then wind changed to south and 2 hours later had a jumper on. Diesal prices have dropped significantly with diesel around $2.03 at Yallara and $1.97 at Nundroo compared with around $2.50 at most stations across the Nullarbor with exception of Nullarbor ($2.80) and Balladonia ($2.37). Spent last night camping just east of Yallara befriended a few magpies- it wasn't the colours that gave them away- it was they had no front teeth. Broken Feather and I spent a couple of hours catching March flies to which bf seemed to like. Went out to Scotts Bay and Mexican Hat camp grounds. Road out through salt flats and only dry weather track but worth the drive as coastline is very nice. Pat i washed the red shirt today albeit I couldn't part from it for long.Читать далее

    Went through checkpoint this morning- no fruit or veg so sailed through. Stocked up on beer,fuel and food and a little more beer just in case ready for the trip down the Eyre Peninsula. Oyster shack was shut so will have to try tommorrow morning before we leave for Streaky Bay- Don't look Ethel!! Finished the last two holes of the Nullarbor Links at Ceduna and received a certificate for my efforts. The red shirt can now have a rest- for a day or two.Читать далее

    Streaky Bay

    21 марта 2023 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

    Arrived at Streaky Bay via Smoky Bay where we picked up a dozen freshly shucked oysters for $17. Staying at Foreshore Carsvan Pk which is really nice and right on the Bay.Went for a drive to Cape Bauer- nice coastline. Another couple of drives Pt Labatt where you see a Sea Lion colony and Murphy's Haystacks. Also did the Westall Way loop drive which has some nice bays. Tried to book swimming with sea lions and dolphins out of Baird Bay but fully booked a week in advance so no go. Went to the Streaky Bay Cup and whilst we didn't win overall still had a really good day. The best horse I backed won the race then dumped the rider jumped the outside fence and headed over the hills towards town.Читать далее

    Venus Bay

    27 марта 2023 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Arrived in Venus Bay after a drizzly morning. Caravan Park is right on the waters edge. Nice walk around south Point on coastline. Picked up some really nice curries from Shell servo in Streaky Bay before we left. Nice drive out to Tahlia Cave about 20kms south. Saw the cave which was weathered limestone and "the tub"- no Lloydy they haven't named a place after you!. It would've been a cave but the roof had collapsed. Finished the arvo with another walk around South Point and then the scones and coffee deal at the kiosk where my newly acquired snap swivels fell out of my pocket and straight through the wooden floor boards. Toasting fork to the rescue and after a bit of mucking around the $2.40 swivels were saved. Phew!!Читать далее

    Busy few days in Coffin Bay- which by the way was named after a mate of Cap't Flinders. Went on the Whalers Way drive out of Port Lincoln. Great drive and coastline. Saw small colony of sea lions. Tonight we're eating at flash Oyster restaurant 1802. On Saturday we're catching up with GB Sue's sister Lee and hubby,Rob. Sunday we're doing an Oyster tour starting with a bloody Mary oyster shot. Why not finish our stay at Coffin Bay with a dozen oysters and half a kilo of prawns from a vending machine!!Читать далее

    On the east coast of the Eyre Peninsular travelled via Cummins and a very good curry pie. Silo art and lots of murals in town. Jetty closed due to damage but apparently they have sea dragons around the piers. Drove into Port Neill north of Tumby Bay- caravan pk looks average and town likewise but good camping spots between Tumby and Port NeillЧитать далее

    Big day driving from Tumby Bay to Melrose adjacent to Mt Remarkable in the Flinders Ranges. Nice town-2 pubs and a brewery! Came via Horrocks Pass through the ranges. Took a drive back to Wilmington and a very hilly drive to Alligator Gorge. Gorge well worth doing- looks a lot like the NW gorges.Читать далее

    ПутешественникYes. The road to get through the Flinders Ranges via Horrocks Pass was very impressive. I don't know whether you have been to Alligator Gorge but we saw a cyclist walking up the first of the hills and there was a series of very steep hills much worse than the first - suffice to say we didn't see him at the gorge as he must have given up and turned around. Mind you your older sister Audrey probably would have made it on her electric bike!!!

    Our "Easter" spot albeit I tried about 10 places first. Not too bad and town is well serviced. Will get down to Innes National Park whilst here. Went to the local " Watsacowie" brewery and finally some decent beer after the poop they serve at the pubs in SA. Two piece band Lily and the Drum were playing- very good and is on Spotify. Had a big drive through the Innes NP. Nice coast and liked the Stenhouse Bay camp site just out of Marion Bay.Читать далее

    What a great little town. Caravan Pk overlooking the bay and the jetty with the tavern in between. Golf course designed by Greg Norman. Apparently it has been windy over the last few days but it was picture perfect today. Different story on Tuesday- windy and overcast. Caravan Park cleared out- the nude yoga worked again!

    Adelaide

    13 апреля 2023 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Arrived in Adelaide for the Gather Round. The Marion Caravan Park is very flash_ gym to workout ( Hmmm maybe not!). Indoor/ outdoor pool, indoor tennis court, outdoor cinema, bar and restaurant. Caught up with Shane Power for lunch at Marino Rocks Social Cafe and then we got the Dockers over the line on a balmy night at Nowood Oval. Thankfully no footy on Saturday as very wet but took a drive to Hahndorf and had lunch and a couple of decent beers. Really nice drive with Autumn leaves. Footy double header on Sunday. Eagles first up and very good first 10 minutes and second half- unfortunately in between the Eagles second and third goals, Geelong got 12 goals. Second game between Pies and Saints much better and only a goal in it. Adelaide Oval is a very nice stadium.Читать далее
