Zac and I watched The Phantom on my iPad, which was a most disappointing movie. Had some potential, but just when the movie seemed to be going somewhere, it ended and said &#8220;to be continued&#8230;&#8221; What the??  Sureley you have to have a big battle where the bady gets away or something if you are going to stop a movie halfway like that!!! It just sort of&#8230;. ended?? Felt more like the first episode of a TV show than a movie!!<\/p>\n<p>Worst thing is now we have to get the sequel!!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I think we will aim for Mildura today and then rest for a few days. It is supposed to get hot over the weekend, so that should at least be nice. Won&#8217;t be Coral Bay weather, but will be good after the low 20&#8217;s we have been experiencing&#8230; was a time when we thought low 20&#8217;s was good!!<\/p>\n<p>I checked the weather and noticed a lot of flooding in and around Victoria, especially on the Murray, but seems that is much further east (up stream) so we should be ok&#8230;. see how we go. We haven&#8217;t even seen rain for about 4 weeks, so the thought of a flood is just foreign.<\/p>\n<p>Will be good to be back on home turf (Victoria), but it is sad that the holiday is almost over&#8230; it is going to be hard returning to a normal life after this great adventure!!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now I&#8217;ll bet ya that 11 years ago when Fi married me, she didn&#8217;t expect she would be spending her 11th wedding anniversary sitting in a caravan in Port Augusta, but that is where we found ourselves yesterday.
