Hello from Adelaide. We stay here 2 nights so we can watch the AFL grand final. Go Eagles! On our way out of Hahndorf we stop at the Beerenberg Farm Store for some jam and chutney tasting. 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...

We spend one night in Coober Pedy on this leg of the trip. We decide to drive to Port Augusta and spend 2 nights so we will be somewhere for Williams birthday tomorrow. We leave Coober Pedy around 9 am and continue our journey south. We can see for miles on either side as there are few trees. The wildflowers are starting to bloom and there is lots of yellow and pink on the sides of the road. Today there are lots of road trains. We see wild emus and giant lizards...

It is a short drive to Coober Pedy. It is more familiar territory and I am happy to be able to explore this town a bit more. Coober Pedy is as hot and dusty as we remember it. We book into a cabin as we are not keen to pitch our tent in the dust again. We get a different feel when walking around the town. Last time we were here there were lots of people loitering in the street but they are not here now. We go to the supermarket and get dinner, Mark gets a bottl...
