This was another chilling day but it was red hot! I just did all the usual relaxing stuff. It was too hot to do anything else today. The temperature reached 40 degrees and there was no respite. There was a breeze but it was like being blown by a hot hair dryer! I had a few chats with my neighbour Bruce who was a really great friendly guy. He came to chat to me in between retreating to his air conditioned caravan. We talked about his job driving trucks (prime move...

I left Strathalbyn today for a change of scenery. I travelled about 45 minutes away to Goolwa to continue living the idyllic lifestyle.

It was time for a change of scenery and camp site today. I had booked myself into the Strathalbyn Caravan Park about 45 minutes away. This is an inland town at the top of the Fleurieu Peninsula. I left Second Valley at about 10. To be honest I was glad to get away from here, for despite leading an idyllic relaxed lifestyle I was going a bit stir crazy here. It was great to hit the road. I had been driving for about 20 minutes on a quite winding road when the traf...
