AustraliaStayed just one night at an RV park. Bit of a dust bowl but it served its purpose for the night. Onto to our next stop-Ceduna-before heading on the Nullabor. Quick stop at the Sheringa Roadhouse-very quirky and interesting. See photos below.

We went out to see Australias only mainland sea lion colony which was amazing! On the way back we pulled over and I walked out to the middle of a salt late and found this memorial for a farmer that was killed by natives in 1850, quite eerie but cool!
It looks like we are stuck in Streaky Bay untilRead more
Jenny HAYNESWhat an amazinv adventure you're having. Shame about the car, but it has got you a LONG way already without trouble so hopefully it doesn't cost too much and is an easy fix. Kisses to my boys 😘😘 enjoy your extra days there 😘
Lisa LindsayYeh we've done 11500 kms already! Been very lucky indeed! But it looks like it's going to cost around $1200 to fix so I hope it's not more than that!
Jenny HAYNESOh bugger 😔 that's a big chunk out of the budget... Finger's crossed for you 🤞
AustraliaWe did a massive day in the car (11 hours!!!) and went through the 'halfway across Australia' point and then spent 2 nights at a $10 ( honestly box) a night camp on the beach. A farmer came down with his horses in the mornings and we watched them galloping up the beach, he obviously saw MavRead more

AustraliaO.M.G... its SO hot, 36 degrees yesterday, today and tomorrow. We still don't have the car and we can't swim out front of caravan park until late this afternoon ( super low tide ) 😭 I've had the worst headache for the past few days - the flies and mozzies are awful wahhhhh I know I shouldn't beRead more
Karen AdamOh you poor thing😟I hope it cools down soon for you and that you can get the car back soon too. We’ve had rain lately which has cooled things down here. Did you end up getting Mavs school work? Love you all 😘😘
Lisa LindsayThey only get 300ml of rain a year here! It's super dry and we've been at the library hiding in the air conditioning ( and reading books!). Schoolwork isn't here, it was not scanned properly apparently so now we won't get it until Esperance in Western Australia ( but who knows if it'll turn up anyway) so we'll be 3-4 wks behind. We're going to see if we can just can it and do our own thing. Love you too 😘
Karen AdamGreat idea to sit in the library, I would too 😄. The kids are getting experience on the road, travelling everywhere and learning about places. That’s better sometimes than sitting in a classroom, and you can always just help by teaching the basics like sums and spelling.
Jenny HAYNESWhy don't you have the car back? Is it worse than first thought? 😕 I really hope not.... The heat has been too hot to do anything in, now it's too wet! The sun pops out every now and again, but it's still wet... Hopefully you get some relief in a swim later. Don't stress on the school work 😉
Lisa LindsaySome parts had to go Back to Adelaide, get fixed then get shipped back here. It's meant to be ready today but they close in 50 mins and we haven't heard from them. It's a public holiday here on Monday too so if it's not ready, we'll be stuck here for another 4 days 😩😩😩 it's so hot, we've been having cold showers but the heat hits you as soon as you walk out the bathroom door.
Jenny HAYNESOh bloody hell 😔 Oh of course there's a public holiday on Monday - just your luck!! "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming" as often as the tide allows 😳😘
