Here we are now in Mount Gambier, South Australia, with a lot of kilometres, visits with friends and family and mishaps along the way. After we left Lismore we headed to both Glenn Innes then Bendimeer, free camps that we have stayed at before. Then on to Coolah behind the golf club for a couple of nights and where Chris got in a game of golf. We caught up with friends Chris and Wendy and had a lovely afternoon/evening with them, catching up on each other’s ne...

Today is 11/11/18, the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1. We took the photo of these beautiful hand made poppies yesterday at Penneshaw's monument of remembrance on Kangaroo Island, SA. where we had gone for the day's visit. First though I must catch up from our time at Moorook and my last blog entry. We had a good few days at Moorook, made all the better with the company of Glenys and Malcolm, the couple whose van we parked near. Bob and Ellen on one side and...

Its a beautiful morning as I sit here along side the Murray at a lovely little spot called Moorook, about 40kms out of Renmark.

It's eight weeks today s...

After leaving Ceduna we did stay at Haslem, a popular little spot for keen fisherman, sadly the weather had changed from high 30s/40 degree temps down to cold and windy low 20s so we were not tempted to stay here any longer than the one night. On to Streaky bay and slightly better weather, seeing the sunshine intermittently. We learn the art of Razor fishing which is really more like gardening than fishing. Razor fish are a large shell fish which bury their po...

After playing his first two holes of golf at Kalgoorlie, WA, Chris and I headed across the Nullabor to Ceduna, a 2000 km road trip taking us five days. We expected a very long straight road with a lot of flat, barren nothing each side but we were pleasantly surprised to find this was not the case. Yes, there was a few boring bits but it was also quite hilly and green with places to stop and explore on the way. We had hoped to see a variety of wildlife but were d...
