Wednesday 19th November 2014 We packed up slowly and said good bye to Ian and Chris - really nice folk to know and to camp with - lets hope we can do it again sometime. We couldn't get in Touch with Mikkirra Station to camp there so we rode back into Port Lincoln - had a few things to do - one was to get an extra drive sorted for the laptop - yes it's a Mac - it is a good laptop in that it is very energy efficient so is good to travel with - but it's a Ma...

Friday 14th - Lincoln National Park We woke up this morning at the Port Lincoln Caravan Park, a light rain was trying to work up to something, a chilly wind was flicking across the bay with gusto - we thought about it and decided to pack up anyway. We filled up with fuel, checked in at the Tourist Info centre, Mal got a hair cut and we filled up with food at Woolies and then finally rode out to the National Park. We have a nice campsite just near the b...

The distinctive feature were the twisting black wattle trees - they lept from the ground like they were w...

The Hawker Caravan Park - the one in town, is fantastic - yes it is on the edge of almost desert - however they have plated suitable native trees which are lush and very attractive to the birds. We packed up and found that the back tyre still has a leak, so the tyre was just ridable down to the servo to pump it up with air. We pumped it up and bolted for Port Agusta on the logic that it stayed inflated for the ride from Leigh Creek to Hawker and that is furt...
