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...

A long day in the car today to get through to Coober Pedy. We were on the road early as Kulgera was wet and we were all awake thanks to Tully! We stopped at Marla and Cadney Park and I even drove today to give Jarrod a break midway. Turned off to the Breakaways for our lunch stop about 20kms before Coober. This was a great outlook over the coloured hills into the distance. Arrived into Coober Pedy and set up camp. We held very low expectations here, having had av...
