Left a hot Mildura yesterday and headed off to a just as hot sunny Swan Hill. Our trek lead us first across the border into NSW before turning south once more, so officially we have been to 4 states of Australia on this trip! Now if anyone was wondering what the locusts are like up … Continue reading »

Had a fantastic day yesterday in sunny Mildura. Started the day off with a swim in the Caravan Park pool after breakfast. Was already well into the 30’s and we all needed a refreshing swim after such a hot night. The girls took their masks and snorkels into the pool and did an awesome job … Continue reading »

That’s right…we are home…. well on home turf anyway…hehe 😉 After another long day on the car we crossed the border back into Victoria. Now we have crossed both the WA and SA borders twice each in our travels, and it was pretty low key really. There was a sign that said welcome to SA, … Continue reading »

Well the good news is today we found our traveling buddies… was purely by chance but…. now we are stuck! We left Eucla this morning and were very happy to report that the car was working well. Straight up to 110km and cruising. Problem was, it was about 200km to the Nullabour roadhouse and we … Continue reading »

Well we are again in Eucla, and I forgot the roosters like to have everyone up at the crack of dawn here!!! Just had a look outside, and the park is empty, looks like everyone got on the road early today. We didn’t catch up with Andrew and Judith last night, and can only assume … Continue reading »
