So today we got on the road early to get home. This day has come all too quickly but the thought of home, the warmth and comfort of our house and the people we have missed make it easier. We stopped a few times throughout the day but with each stop being closer to home we moved on quickly. Our biggest headache today was the closure of the Western Hwy at Horsham after a truck roll over. This meant we had to detour, adding about 30km to the day. After 19,000km we c...

A short drive today so we went for a walk along the river before leaving Adelaide. Stopped at Mt Lofty for a coffee but the icy air forced us back into the warm car. Onwards to Hahndorf for lunch and we walked the picturesque streets and stocked up on some local fruit and vege. Had a final dinner at the 3 gums restaurant in the caravan park. We have been comparing chicken schnitzels during our trip and can say with absolute certainty this one on our final night w...

A stressful drive from Crystal Brook into Adelaide. The road was terrible and once close, traffic was busy. We stopped at Clare for morning tea, remembering a coffee shop we had been to on our last trip. We were in luck and found a decent coffee before pushing on. Arrived into Adelaide around lunch time and set up camp at the inner city Adelaide Caravan Park. This is a relatively small park but walking distance into the city which worked well for us. We headed in...

Another long drive with not much to stop for. We feel like we are putting in the kms now and a bit disheartened by it. Had morning tea at the Arid Gardens just north of Port Augusta. We remembered stopping here with Bev and Haydn on our last trip and enjoyed a nice coffee again this time. Continued on to Crystal Brook, a small town 200kms North of Adelaide. Had a wander around and found a good playground but otherwise kept warm inside. Have been unsure of where t...

Another long drive and we left Coober Pedy early. Not much along the road but we stopped in at Lake Hart for lunch. Arrived in Woomera early afternoon and walked into town. Jarrod and I really enjoyed Woomera on our last visit. The town has a real defence base feel and the old rockets are fascinating. Tully loved running around the park standing up against them. On our last visit Jarrod and I went to the Eldo Hotel and often talk about the great chicken Parma. So...
