We said a big farewell to Amanda, Mark, Charlotte and Jake as we don't know when our paths will cross again. It's the worst part of the trip really. You get to know all these amazing families in the road who end up being great mates, then you have to farewell them like you did to your mates back home. You sort of have to remind yourself that this trip was started by ourselves and that we do travel alone for most of of the time..... We arrived at Rapid Bay by ear...

Our flight from Brissy went smooth. cant believe l freaked about about carry on luggage and being over weight. They didn't even check. Anyway, we got back around 4pm and caught a taxi back to Levi Park caravan park. $35 later we had arrived back and we all felt a little tired. We booked in for another four nights to try and recoup a little. It was good to back to the van again, in our own space and not living out of a bag. We parked the van on the site next to th...

So with all the local yobbos camping at Mannum, we packed up the van and we were off on the road after lunch. It's so great with this new van packing up, so easy.

We had heard from a few people how great this free camp was so that added some streng...

Driving into Mannum l was so surprised to find this gorgeous looking town set beside the amazing Murray. The buildings are so well preseved and it feels like you've almost stepped back in time. As we took the ferry crossing to the free camp site at Bolto Reserve we were greeted by a guy who loves his job, giving us a big hello and wave. After finding a nice shady spot for the van, the girls and l were changed quick smart into our bathers and we were off for a swi...

Haven't done a blog for a few days cause since we left Swan Hill we headed for a huge seven hour drive, arriving at our free camp spot, Long Point, in the Coorong National Park. It was very disappointing when we arrived and a big let down. It was highly regarded in our bible, Camps 6 book, with them giving a tick of approval.
