Hi AllSo, Balladonia. Or more commonly known as one campsite and a roadhouse. We pulled in and quickly realised after several minutes and half a dozen bent tent pegs later, that sleeping in the car was by far the better option. And so it proved to be. Apart from the one random mossie that managed to get in and stay in, it was absolutely perfect. The stars were shining all around us and it was with a sense of peace that we dropped off.

Hi all So, up we all got and as we sat around smoking cigarettes and getting burnt by the already blistering sun we hit upon a stupendous idea.
