A bit of a walk through the camper... whilst there was a moment! No insta perfect decorated camper, we have minimal gear for weight and mess reasons. This is working for us. Follow up in comments.
We finally found a wombat in the wild! #nugnug
Turn your volume up full and listen to this. We were in the Grampians and a storm was forcast to move through so we parked in the open car park of a camp grounds so we weren't under trees, tied down the bed fly covers and went to bed. We got very little rain but this is the sound we woke up to as the wind moved through the valley.
The pops you here were things hitting the camper it didn't actually really rain. The photos are some.of images from only metres from the camper.
South Australia you were a blast!
We have lifelong friends in Adelaide that we just had to see and spent some lovely time with them.
We saw dolphins, fished, played on awesome playgrounds and restocked the fridges. Dave did a few adjustments on the camper so we now have 12v lighting at flick of a switch and think we are rather fancy!
We were surprised how quickly the scenery changed from winery to outback as we headed north. We felt like we were in NT again.
We love good food and we found the most amazing little Italian pantry called Trulli. It was just so delicious!
Black snow
We live in a sugar cane town. With price of sugar diving over the last 20 years we have gone from 5 sugar mills in the area to just one as more and more farms are converted to small crops and macadamia nuts. My 5 year olds have never seen a cane fire! I remember as a child every night we would have black snow as the ash from cane fires fell. Mum knew to get the washing in by 4pm, and there was no big deal but more and more they cut the cane green now and we don't see the fires, particularly in the town area I do hope it never dies out completely , it is such a beautiful memory of childhood running and clapping the ash with your hands and it would disappear. Have you ever seen 'black snow'?
Thanks for your service $2 Kmart thongs!
My good old faithful thongs have just given up... they have lasted the whole trip! At last count we have been through 20 pairs of thongs... half lost and half broken. Mine were number 21! We went into the local Lifeline and the exact pair of thongs that I had bought at Kmart were on sale for $4 well used!
The Olgas, just before second lookout
