Tuesday 20th June A very early start, but it was a freezing cold morning and overnight it dropped to minus 3. Once again a heavy dew so everything wet and muddy and freezing cold hands as we packed up. There was a heavy fog on the highway, which didn't lift until about 10.30am. It was a very foggy drive across the Hay plains with extremely poor visibility. We booked in Gundagai Caravan Park and booked an ensuite site. Such luxury. This park is unique in th...

Monday 19th June Settled into this great caravan park situated on the Murrumbidgee River. We have stayed here before, and just love this spot. We were sitting on the banks of the river enjoying a coffee and it was very cold at this stage. The owner of the park came along to light the fire near the BBQ area, but we told her we were off to the pub for dinner, as they already had a roaring fire going which had beckoned us. We left early for happy hour so we cou...

Friday 16th June Berri Caravan Park was just lovely and was surrounded by well kept gardens, lots of rose gardens, and great amenities.

Thursday 15th June, 2017 We enjoyed a really interesting drive today. We were on the Goyder Highway, then the Barrier Highway. There were acres and acres of fields, maybe wheat or hay?

What a picturesue town with a very welcoming feel to it. We both loved it. It was apparently named ...

Tuesday 13th June 2017 On the highway heading 360kms to Spear Creek Caravan Park. This park is set immediately adjacent to the Western slopes of the Flinders Ranges in the middle of a 7000ha working sheep station, and is built amongst 400 year old red river gums. We stopped for morning tea at a rest stop, and then lunch on the river bank in Port Augusta. A beautiful sunny day once again. We learnt that the unusual breed of Dorper sheep are bred on this pro...
