It was a very hot and sticky night and I didn't sleep that well. The overnight low can't have been any less than 25 degrees. I decided to go and see Adelaide today on the 157 bus. The bus stop was just a 2 minute walk away from the camp site. Whilst waiting for the bus I got bitten by ants, you have to be very careful where you stand over here! The bus took about 50 minutes to get to the city and I enjoyed the ride. For those of you who haven't gathered by now I ...

It had been very 'local' in Price and I'd enjoyed staying there but it was now time to go to the big city. It was very hot this morning and was going to be a scorcher of a day. I left Price and hit the highway up the peninsula until I hit Highway One that would take me to Adelaide. It was a dual carriageway and by far the biggest road I've been on since leaving Perth. The traffic got busier the closer I got to Adelaide. I'm not used to all this traffic and all th...

I got up to a very quiet camp. Just me there, apart from the trillions of flies that all seem to have woken up the second I did! It took me until about half way to Price to shake them all off!

It was in it's heyday in the 1920's. Since the mine closed it has fallen into ruin. It w...

It had been cold and windy in the night but when I got up the weather was perfect. No wind, clear blue sky and heading towards 30 degrees. After brekky I took the key back to the lovely old lady across the road and hit the highway down to Innes National Park at the bottom of the peninsula. I stopped at Minlaton for some fuel and it wasn't far from here that I saw something that really amused me. I saw a chalkboard on the pavement outside someones house. It had ba...

This was a lovely place to camp. The surroundings are beautiful. When I went to have a shower I saw a huge brown beetle in the basin and my first spider in Australia. It was lurking under the soap tray in the shower! It wasn’t that big or particularly scary or poisonous looking so I got on with my shower. Because these showers are semi outdoors there were loads of dead and alive insects about. After brekky I went for a walk from the camp site through the gu...
