We arrived at Tumbling Waters Caravan Park to a warm welcome from friends, both old and new. This place, in all our years of travelling this beautiful country, is still up there as one of our favourites. The park itself is quite rustic with basic bathroom facilities but makes up for that in the other things it offers. The restaurant serving delicious food, the two pools, the croc feeding, the outdoor cinema, the bingo mornings and trivia nights. We have enjoyed ...

We booked into the Sterling North Caravan Park which is just a few kms out of Port Augusta and thought we'd rest and restock here before heading out to the Flinders Ranges. As the temperatures are much lower now and us being such delicate little petals after so long in high temperatures, we wanted to be on power because we're not sure what's happening with our diesel heater in the van. While in Kimba, we tried to turn it on in the morning. It didn't want to start...

We did a quick food shop in Katherine before heading out to Pussycat Flats at Pine Creek. We stopped here before as we left Tumbling Waters at Berry Springs last time and worked out that that was eight years ago. We stayed two nights at Pussycat Flats, catching up on washing and cleaning while enjoying the passion fruits ...

Not wanting to unhook and leave the van there, we decided to have a lazy day and enjoy the scenery with the view of Uluṟu in the background. Next morning we leave our overnight camp and get to the resort by about ...

After leaving Mount Gambier we headed to Millicent and booked into the Showgrounds for two nights where we met Sue, the very friendly and helpful caretaker. Later in the day we took the car around to Toyota as arranged and we were dropped back to our caravan, expecting the car to be a couple of hours. Shortly after we received a call, Ian wanted to keep the car overnight to dry it out. There was so much water down inside and around some of the electrics which was...
