Kingston SE
. Travel Day It was time for our visiting Fam to head back to their home in Adelaide, and time for us to move on with our travels further west and beyond, back into exploring the Peninsulas! On leaving Mt…
Sight-Seeing Drive
. Bordertown We were expecting Bordertown to be either at – or very close to – the next Border Security / Quarantine Check area, but as we found later on in the trip, there wasn’t an actual organised check-point like the…
Mt Gambier
. Travel Day The drive from Halls Gap to our next camp-site at Mt Gambier was just lovely – with lots to see along the way. We stopped in and took a walk around Hamilton Lake, and the dogs loved…
Grampians
. Travel Day It was time to be back on the road again, and we also needed to do some top-up shopping, so on our drive to the Grampians, we stopped in at Horsham to do the shopping. Back in…
Dimboola
. A lil lost Finding our next camping spot proved to be a little tricky, as we had an incorrect address for the Caravan Park, and ended up at the nearby RV Park, which butts up against the actual caravan…
Adl Xmas
. Suburban stop-over Our Son and Daughter-in-law had invited us to spend Christmas with them north of Adelaide – which was kind of them – so that was our next stop. We had also arranged for us both to have…
Keith
. Delightful The next little town we landed in was a thorough delight! Sadly we only got to spend two days in the pretty country town of Keith, and we stayed at the Keith Caravan Park. The Park offers powered,…
Bustling Brighton
. Travel Day It was a fairly short hop, skip and a jump – ok a drive – to our stay for the next few days, which we spent at the Brighton Beachfront Caravan Park, at Kingston Park Beach. When…
Mildura
. Travel Day Leaving Broken Hill and heading toward Mildura, we were on the Silver City Highway, and as the sign told us as we left town, there would be no fuel for 260km. We knew we’d be ok though,…
Wilcannia
. Travel Day Cobar to Wilcannia bought us lots of road-side goats and then more goats! Soooo many different sizes shapes and colours, and being spring, there were lots of bouncy babies amongst the herds, gambolling around the countryside with…
Henrys New Boots
. Travel Day The road to Cobar had loads of Rest Areas – probably the most we’ve seen between towns so far, and they’re really well-maintained and clean. There was also an amazing number of goats on the sides of…
Bogan Town
. Travel Day After spending a quick two days in Dubbo to get Henry into RPM Mechanical – the Fiat mechanic – (who was bloody awesome just for the record!!) for a good check-over and Service, we were back on…
Coona
. Cooee Our next port of call was going to be Coonabarrabran, and unbeknownst to us – until we were quite a ways into that particular leg of the trip – we had managed to get our maps app to…
Tamworth
. We arrived in Tamworth and headed straight for the closest Info Centre, which happened to be wedged in next to a Hungry Jacks, but we didn’t partake. The Tall One went in to get some info and some brochures,…
Happy Birthday
. Travel Day Our next driving day was “Happy birthday Mabi” day, and the Tall Mumma had researched and found a Bakery in one of the small towns we were passing through, so that Mabi could have her traditional birthday-sausage-roll.…
Glen Innes
. Tenterfield We crossed over from Queensland into New South Wales on our next travel day, and dropped in to Tenterfield to top up one of our gas-tanks which had run out the day before. We use gas for the…
