Port Lincoln (Fish capital of Aus) After deciding to say at Port Lincoln Tourist Park we got a spot right up the back, lucky for us we have a double story and still had a view!!! Being the seafod capital of Australia we did the right thing and bought an array of fish for dinner. Monday while the girls caught up on some washing and went to Target, Tim and Archie went for a fish off the jetty, much to their delight Archie caught a squid (bit small) and Tim caugh...

Coober Pedy Arriving at Whyalla in time to pick Baigal up from the airport. The excitement today was imense counting the hours down to Baigal's arrival. L and A even washing windows, making a welcome sign and a "hotel" bus bed. We learnt in SA it was a public holiday for the Adelaide Cup; b***** no new tyre for our Coober Pedy road trip.

An interesting sleepy town, lots of bike tra...

Mildura Limping into town we headed straight to the vacant block Jason and Leah had organized (Leah's fathers). Unpacked Tim found somewhere to get a metal sleeve made to repair the breakage. We had a shop at Bunning's, (our windows in the bus are getting pretty dirty)!! We then put the boat in, had a swim and then a spin up the river. The Murray River here is huge, very wide with plenty of water flowing, with the weir just on the West side of the town this see...
