We are excited to be heading home. We quickly pack our belongings and head to 'Tosca Blue' for breakfast. It is cute wee cafe with great coffee. Emily has her favourite breakfast, scrambled eggs. She cannot get enough of them! We do a spot of shopping in Hamilton before hitting the road. For the last time on this trip we pop 'Crowded House' into the CD player followed by 'Worlds Greatest Kids Songs'. We sing along with them as after thousands of kms on the road ...

Homeward bound! We decide to break up this last leg of the journey in Hamilton. We have been there before and really like the place. We depart Adelaide at 10:30 with a good 5 1/2 hours drive ahead. We drive through beautiful lush green farmland with big gum trees. Our journey takes us through the back roads, lots of which are single lanes and we see very little traffic. Paddocks covered with irrigators remind us of New Zealand. Yellow canola fields cover the lan...

We buy some chocolate covered freeze dried strawberries. They are yum but it is probably not the wisest decision to give Emily one in her car seat. She coats herself head to toe in chocolate and the car seat. I cannot wait to wash that seat cover. It has had to put up with a l...

Hello from Hahndorf, a German town on the outskirts of Adelaide. We leave Hawker and head for the southern Flinders ranges unsure of our final destination. The views are stunning. Flat plains on one side and mountain ranges on the other. We are now driving through lots of farm land, hundreds of fields covered with yellow canola crops, green fields of wheat and barley. The beautiful scenery made all the better by the glorious sunny weather. There are lots of ston...

We are almost at the end of this epic journey. The last thing we want to do before heading south east is to explore the Flinders Ranges. We have heard they are quite spectacular. We leave Port Augusta and drive towards Quorn. It's a beautiful day. The roads are long and straight. We reach Quorn, a cute wee colonial town and grab a coffee before continuing our journey. It is pretty busy in this area due to school holidays. We decide to stay in Hawker and after fi...
