Day 60: Train shunting late at night into the morning hours not so good and the external light from our ensuite could not be turned off so it was like daylight inside our van for the evening so a tossing and turning evening. Headed off at our usual time and turned south, we are going up and down peninsulas more than a brides nightie. So, from the top of the Eyre Peninsula down to Adelaide. We travelled thru many many kilometres of wheat fields but unlike WA th...

Day 59: One of the things we did work out at Coffin Bay was the big roundish splats of dung throughout our caravan park were emu poo, now we will forever know and be able to show everyone that we can track emus. Up and 'attem by 9 as we had a longish drive of 380 kms to Port Augusta. We had to drive down to Port Lincoln at the pointy end before turning north and following the side of the Eyre Peninsula to the top and then heading across country to PA. We went...

Day 57: Streaky Bay was left behind sadly but headed to the bottom end of Eyre Peninsula. We drove approx. 270 kms to Coffin Bay without a break because we had read that the seafood place in Port Lincoln (50 kms east of Coffin Bay closed at 2 pm). Our arrival time in Coffin was about 12:15 so we did the 4 Ps (park, power, pee and petrol), stuff goes out and stuff goes in. We cut it fairly finely going into the Bay with only 50 kms left in the tank as we had a...

Day 55: Packed and left Penong yesterday after a very quiet evening. Did wonder what the 'whop, whop' noise was as I did my midnight wander across the compound and remembered the windmills on the other side of the road all whopping along to their own rhythm so it wasn't some demented bird species about to attack at all. Only had 71kms to go before Ceduna and the quarantine gate, he only glanced in the fridge and not inside the pillowcase where three avocadoes...

Day 54: What a lovely quiet evening until the South Australian rooster decided it was morning. Fine when he was 100 metres away but then he wanted to be beside our van and announce the day is dawning. Our clock showed 4:50 am and we had been in bed since 7:30 so I suppose that was enough sleep. We tried to find a radio station to get the SA time correct cause I was wrong on last blog, about an hour out, forgot daylight saving. So, Mister Clever decided to us...
