We all woke up around 430am as sunlight was streaming in through the skylight. The dog was really confused when I tried to put her back to bed after a wee and instead managed to jump on our bed via the couch. She was full of beans and soon woke up everyone else who climbed into our bed too!! We had breakfast and then spent the morning doing schoolwork, as it had been a while since we'd done any. We were all stuck in the caravan as it had started to rain and...

With the time difference we were all awake by 4 am and it was light outside. I took the dog for a quick walk outside and then she hopped back into bed with us but she didn't want to settle down. Soon Jonny had joined us and it was difficult keeping them quiet while the other campers slept. We decided to pack up and have breakfast further down the road in an empty spot where we could start the generator. Within half an hour we found a spot, made breakfast an...

The caravan park was surprisingly quiet over night but by 730am everyone was hitching on and moving out. By 10am new vans were rolling in!

Kimba had advertised a bakery and the kids were keen to get some morning tea but when we drove through town there was only an IGA so I picked them up a ...

We were all awake early and as Nick had packed up most of the van the night before were on the road by 830am. The drive through SA to Port Pirie was very pretty and we stopped in a lovely little town called Burra for morning tea. Without children it would have been a great place to stay for a while and explore the old book and antique shops. Once at Port Pirie we were retracing our steps and it felt like we were finally heading home. We stopped in Port Augu...
