The drive along these parts is certainly not the most exciting around but as I have mentioned previously I try and enjoy the journey as best I can as it is one way of keeping my concentration levels up. My senses were to get a quick start not long after we headed off. It was not far up the road when we had a close encounter of the bovine kind, this was to be our first with these beasts since fitting the animal repellent gadgets. Now I have described the reacti...

We left Adelaide this morning and had thoroughly enjoyed our time there but once again we had to hit the road and make our way to our next job - in the Northern Territory. It is approximately in round figures 3000 km's to our next destination and we intend to take 10 days to get there, this allows us time for some sightseeing along the way. Now it was only last year that we made this very same trip so we can bypass some attractions that we have already visited b...

Fortunately it didn't though we would have gotten some magnificent shots. As is very typi...

The Limestone Coast was our next destination and in particular Mount Gambier home of the Blue Lake. I had read about and seen many pictures of the Lake but I was a still a little dubious that in real life it may not reach the expectations I had of it. Well you could knock me over with a feather this place was incredible and exceeded my expectations, I was a happy man. Unfortunately when we arrived at one of the Lake lookouts in the morning it was very windy, ver...
