Overall

We have had 79 days away and experienced all types of environments and weather.Someone commented - "...only in Australia". Our great South Land!

From the The Great Barrier Reef,to the Outback deserts and scrub lands,salt lakes,lush pastoral districts, wild rugged coastlines, and rivers like the Murray.
From Tropical heat to dry heat, cold and rain, to freezing cold temps that result in white-outs on the road.
We have experienced the Gold Coast theme parks,snorkelling, scuba diving, gem fossicking, Aussie historical sites and museums, Nature Parks, amazing geology and the bushwalks to see them,a flight over Uluru and Kata Juta, many one of a kind towns like Coober Pedy,the School of the Air and Royal Flying Doctor service,and learnt how amazing Australians are -inventive, resilient, courageous etc, and seen much more too hard to list.

What an amazing trip in our own backyard !! and we have only been 'half way around the block'. I would encourage all to do some of it at least once!( this has been our 2nd or 3rd time for different sections and we have still come away saying 'next time...')

The Facts:( for those into these things)
We have driven 11,200 km's in 79 days, Spent $2,800 on fuel and oil, used 2050 L's of fuel.
Free camped 1/3 of the time( probably would be more without a teenager on board tho' Jess didn't mind one way or the other), spent $xxxxx on caravan parks and $xxxx at the supermarket. We had budgeted $100 a day and finished over budget by about $75 a week. Not bad in my opinion. One thing helped,we had saved our 'Rudd money' for our extra,big day trips.



P.S: For those reading this post as a first post I encourage you to look at some of the following post's photos or maybe even read some and be encouraged to travel a little of this land.
If you have children,do not be afraid of travelling with them, they are more resilient than you think. The time spent together is so worthwhile. School you may ask?? Our girls from 2yrs to 14 yrs of age have always gained so much more when travelling. Jess has a sense of the everyday real world things (like where things come from)and a real knowledge of our countries heritage and geology etc. There are families out there doing it.
Our belief, never leave till tomorrow what you can do today, as tomorrow may be too late.

Enjoy!!

Days 75 -78(Sun -Wed14/10)

Well it's Wednesday morning and we are slowly heading back home today. We stopped about 2 hours from home at Mossvale. (We had intended to camp at Bundanoon in the National Park but they wanted $7 park fee, $10 an adult and $5 a child. We pay less in C'van parks with full facilities.)We will spend the day browsing around Mossvale and Berrima,and stocking up on jams, chutneys and lollies, before heading home early tonight. No point rushing these things.

We have spent Monday on the Murray Valley Highway,where George sampled different Brewery beers and some wines, and wandering down back country roads. Many of the other produce stops were shut as it was a Monday.Tuesday was spent mostly on the Hume Hwy.

For those of you wondering why we are heading home a few days early it is because George begins teaching a Yr 6 class on Monday for all of Term 4. So... he needs to get home to meet with the Yr6 teachers for term planning on Thursday. He will be very busy at school Thursday and Friday. Jess has taken the opportunity to have a sleep over on Thursday night, and all the family is coming Friday night so.... we will quickly be back to our busy selves.

Will post nitty gritty info of trip soon for those(mainly men) who like that kind of thing.
See you all soon.
Love Lynne

Days 70- 74 (Wed 7/10- Sun11/10)

Hi All ! Thought I posted Wednesday's before heading in to our bushcamp on the Murray on Thursday. Sorry!

Wednesday arrived and the day was rainy. How unusual!! We travelled across country and up the back roads to Ballarat, Creswick(where we visited the woollen mills) and Bendigo. We free camped out of Elmore on the Campaspe River at the old Field Day site. A beautiful grassy spot!

We had emailed(last week) a few friends we had intended to visit on the way home but in the wonderful retired motorhoming way they were all off enjoying life!! One couple were enjoying the Murray,the slow way, so we rang to see how far they'd driven and if we could meet up. Luck was with us,so we organised to meet at Echuca on Thursday morning and bush camp till Sunday together. Had a wonderful time talking, walking, bike-riding,relaxing, and had a campfire each night. Jan even cooked a fruitcake in the campoven(the cheat's way).
For those travelling, we stayed at Christies Beach on the Victorian side of the Murray not far out of Echuca on Simmies Rd(site 316 in Camps3)Very large, fronts the river for at least 5km's, heavily wooded so lots of shade.

Days 67- 68 ( Mon 5/10- Tues 6/10)

Monday in Port Campbell was as usual over the last 2 weeks - sunny till 9am and then rain. Luckily most afternoons it has cleared. After the morning washing ritual we set off for the hinterland and Timboon to sample the home made ice-cream and distilled malt whisky and spirits. You can guess who sampled what!!
We then completed the tourist drive with views of the 12 Apostles, Gibsons steps and the Loch Ard Gorge circuit which included a Blow hole and Thunder Cave.Beautiful scenery! But that was the end of that as it began to rain.

Tuesday we left Port Campbell, where we would have chosen to stay longer if the weather was better as it was well positioned on the bank of a river inlet, and headed for the Otway Tree Fly. But it was 2007 all over again, then it was closed due to strong winds , today we decided it was raining way too much to pay$55 to do it. Oh well - next time!! We continued our drive down from the Otways and back to the coast in terrible weather down Turtons Track, a road newly opened and developed for tourists. A little way in I decided we shouldn't have been there, mountainous, twisty and narrow. To top it all off we had white road as it was sleeting/ snowing?? But as you can see by this post we - George - drove it safely with all cars moving over quickly on seeing us. Besides it was a 20k speed limit for all. George stated after,"it only said ,no coaches, no caravans." I said, " well don't you think we're a bit like that!!" His answer, "NO!"

Nothing but rain and temps between 8 and 15 degrees most days for last 2 and half weeks. We have done a bolt for better weather, headed to Murray River to catch up with some friends.So are enjoying 4 days(Thurs- Sun) camping on the Murray in a secluded camp spot with them.
Will have no more power on laptop till Monday. So will post again then.

Days 65- 66 ( Sat 3/10- Sun 4/10)

Saturday saw us visiting a local market before leaving Mt Gambier and driving across the border into Victoria, our 5th and final state. We drove along the coast road through small fishing towns and villages, having a closer look at Nelson before heading into Portland. Here we drove out to the lighthouse about 18km's out of town on the point. The lighthouse was closed for the day but it provided us with some spectacular views of the coast at the lookouts and others on the road on our return to town. This was the beginning of the rugged coastal cliffs we would be viewing over the next few days. We decided to stay here overnight and not push on to Port Fairy having only driven 130km's.
Sunday :We began the day with a Strawberry farm visit which saw us buying 500gm of Strawberries, chocolate, and a bottle of Strawberry Liqueur(love using it in Trifles). We continued on to Port Fairy where we walked along the fishermans wharf viewing the boats and historic dockside homes and bought fresh bread ready for lunch. Next stop was Tower Hill Game Reserve, which is down inside another volcanic crater, where we had lunch and looked around. Typical of many places, when the settlers arrived it only took them a decade to decimate the native flora and fauna leaving the ancient crater bare. It became the first national park in Victoria and has taken the local people many decades to regenerate and reintroduce native flora and fauna using a painting from 1855 as a starting point.
We completed our day by beginning our way along The Great Ocean Road. We viewed The Bay of Islands, Bay of Martyrs, The Grotto, London Bridge and The Arch. Each of these are accessed from separate parking bays on the GOR from which there is short walks to viewing platforms. The beach can be accessed from The Bay of Martyrs only. There are other parking bays but we were too big for them.
This has been the calmest we have ever seen this coast in our 3 trips and though very beautiful and impressive in the sunlight, we believe it was more impressive on the windy wet days previously as the seas were rougher and the forces of nature more impressive.It is still one of the best coastal drives in our opinion. We are currently staying in Port Campbell for a couple of days.

Will post photos tomorrow

Days 63- 64 ( Thurs 1/10- Fri 2/10)

Thursday : Left Robe and drove along the coast as far as Beachport,then headed in towards Mount Gambier pasiing through the town of Millicent. Here we drove out to look at the Wind Farm on the Canundra Development Road. A wonderful local property owner has left a gate open so you can drive up onto a hill on his property and stand right beneath a wind turbine(local Information Centre gives out info). They are massive!(Have kept pamphlet with details but can't remember offhand and it is packed away - unusual for me - hey!)There will be 123 when completed and they will supply 1/8th of SA's power!
We arrived in Mt Gambier at lunch time so spent the afternoon exploring the shops and The Cave(a small volcanic crater in town which supplied the early town with water).Leaving the tourist 'stuff' for tomorrow.
Friday: We spent the morning exploring the volcanic craters in Mt Gambier: Blue Lake(filled with a mysterious blue water which supplies the town water), Valley Lake,Brownes lake and the Devil's Punchbowl which shared another crater , and above this crater was The Centenary Tower. All these are accessible by car, bike or walking tracks.
The Tower was accessed by an 85m walk which I thought wasn't long! I'll do it with Jessica and George! Problem - it had a 1 in 4 gradient - really too steep for me but by the time I realised that and decided to stop we were half way up.It was a very slow ascent and I was worried about the descent(the caretaker even offered to drive me back down at the end of the tour but I was too stubborn).
At the top, was the Tower and you could do a tour up to the top of it. While sitting outside waiting for George and Jess the Caretaker decided I shouldn't miss seeing it after walking up,and talked me into going up too. Once more I had to bum it down a few stairs and take it slow but the caretaker made sure I did it. Beware, this walk is for the able bodied. Most people found the ascent difficult. I found the descent difficult as well. But well worth the effort for the 360 degree views.
PS it was very cold and windy at the top!
We had lunch in the Valley Lake crater beside the lake - an excellent spot for young children with a flora and fauna park, boardwalks and a massive playground. Finally we finished off the afternoon with a visit to the information centre which also has a 'historical discovery centre'. We were interested in seeing the 3d display which features a 3d person, Christine Smith, telling of her life in the early days as a missionary. We have now seen 4 of this type of hologram display. We thought the centre was quite good, though it may be dependent on others interests and willingness to read displays. Altogether it was a busy and interesting day.

Will post photos soon

Days 61- 62 ( Tues 29/9- Wed 30/9)

Tuesday: What a day full of little things. We drove along the foreshore route from Encounter Bay(near Victor Harbour) out to Bashams Beach where whales had been sighted over the last week. Here we saw 7 Southern Right Whales all waiting to give birth, one was a talked about white whale which had come into this bay for the first time ie it had not been sighted here in previous years. We sat and watched for quite a long time. Won't post photos as like the penguins they are hard for others to see.We were once again very lucky as they were very close to shore.
We then drove down to Goolwa where we watched the Steam Ranger train depart and checked out the Port with its Paddle wheelers and boat building dock.(we had wanted to ride this train from Victor Harbour to Goolwa and back but the weather didn't encourage this)
Next was a picturesque drive along some backroads heading to the Wellington vehicle ferry to cross the Murray River. On our way we discovered a little town called Milang, on the banks of Alexandrina Lake, where we had lunch next to the jetty. This was part of the Murray town's tourist drive and had been a big port and boat building town in the river's heyday. There was an interesting information board provided and the crane on the jetty was the first erected. There were 3 rows of beach/ fishing houses in the style of poverty shacks along the lake near the jetty. Here as elsewhere the water levels are badly effected by the lack of water coming down the Murray, and many boats were stranded.
We continued onto the Wellington vehicle ferry and down into the Coorong area where we stopped overnight.
Wednesday: We began the day with a 3km walk through the Coorong, round 2 different types of lakes - one carbonated, and one ground fed halcite(salt)lake. Apparently there are 4 distinctly different types of lakes in the Coorong which move in levels/layers back from the sea: salt water, ground water in the dunes, halcite, carbonate and finally freshwater the furthest in from the sea.(you really wanted to know this!!)We then drove The Loop Rd(dirt), which was well worth the drive as it closely follows the water system,as we headed on to Kingston and the big Lobster. George wanted to walk the sand dunes to the beach but this was a little too much for me.
At Kingston we discovered a very different lighthouse and decided to do the tour($5) This was the Cape Jaffa Lighthouse and was originally built out at sea on a platform. The only lighthouse of its kind. The lightkeepers and their families lived on the lighthouse in its first 60 years on rotation,before it was decided to provide accommodation for families on the mainland. The lighthouse is set up as it would have been then with original furniture donated back.I found this more interesting and I was more able to discuss things as I have just finished reading "the Lighthouse of Tragedy" about the Bustard Head Lighthouse we visited 2 months ago.
I wasn't aware at first that you actually climbed the inside stairs to the top of the Light and on deciding I couldn't and explaining my problem the tour guide wouldn't let me stop but egged me on. He and George were elated at the achievement though I'm paying for it now.I actually had to bum it down a few.Couldn't do the last flight to view the lenses.(To think 4 years ago the doctors believed I would never walk normally again or climb stairs, and I was still using a stick.)They even gave me a kid's sticker saying I climbed 124 steps to the top.(Am always very aware of my legs and choose carefully what I am willing/able to do and what I must leave to George and Jess. But am very grateful for my GP who was willing to fight the Insurers with me so I can do what I can today).
After this I'd decided I'd had enough so we drove onto Robe where we toured the town and booked in for the night. A beautiful spot overlooking the beaches and jetty.

Days 59- 60( Sun 27/9- Mon 28/9)

Sunday morning we drove a really long way on leaving the park - to the corner!! We parked the bus and sat to watch the 'Bay to Birdwood Classic' regretting we hadn't signed up ourselves on Wednesday. It is a rally for classic vehicles and had everything from classic to vintage; cars, sportscars, 4wd's, motorcycles, scooters, panel vans, utes, trucks, VW campers, hotrods etc. As our bus is a classic it qualified so maybe one day we'll come down and enjoy the 10 days of activities which begins with a procession of the vehicles over 2 hours from the Bay(near Glenelg) to Birdwood(Near Gumeracha and the Rocking Horse). People sit along the route in Adelaide to watch and cheer them on. (post note: we have seen groups of vehicles at Victor Harbour and Goolwa since)
At 11.30 we finally made our way out of Adelaide towards Victor Harbour our next stop. The weather was overcast with rainstorms and not conducive to stopping so we missed a few interesting stops - lots of wineries, produce and galleries. Once arriving in Victor Harbour with the weather no better and very windy we decided to chance booking our Penguin night tour for Monday night and postponing our Horse-drawn tram trip as well.
Monday :we awoke to more of the same weather but by 1pm it began to clear a little and we decided it was now or never. By the time we walked into town it had improved and eventually the sun came out and we had carried our rain jackets and umbrellas again for nothing.
What a busy time we had ! We caught the Horse-drawn tram acoss the bridge to Granite Island where we did the island circuit walk and Jess took lots of photos. We returned to the island Bistro and had fish and chips for dinner while waiting to do the 6.30pm Penguin tour. It was a nice meal - the chips were excellent.
Granite Island is a rookery for penguins who return to their nesting burrows to have their chicks each year. They can have up to 3 clutches a season if their weight is kept up ie there is plenty of food. Unfortunately, they are another victim of the Murray River Problem. As a result of declining water levels the nutrients in the river here are reduced, reducing the no. of fish spawned and therefore reducing the amount of food available to the peguins and seals. Also the seals have less fish to eat so they are now hunting the younger penguins. One was in the beach area patrolling near the breakwall in full view waiting for the penguins nightly return. The penguins no's have dropped from 2000, 20 years ago to over 400 last year and half again this year. We were lucky to see them.
The penguin tour at dusk views the little penguins on their return to their young after a days fishing. We saw quite a few including 4 waddling across the tram path to their nests. We also saw a seal,and possums on the cliffs. Missed seeing the 1 metre Water Rats. This was a very good tour; small, personal and not at all contrived, and not dear( $32 for 3).
All we had left at 8pm, carrying our unused raingear, was the walk back across the tramway bridge and back along the foreshore to the c'van park. Boy were my legs tired!!
PS Amanda - another good day trip for the kids!

This One's for Russell !!

Hey Russell These are Autobahn buses in Adelaide!! With the flick of a switch guide wheels are lowered to change it from a normal road bus to a guided rail bus in which the driver only needs to apply accelerator and brakes. When it gets to the end of the autobahn the guide wheels are retracted and on it continues without stopping. These photos were taken at the end/ beginning of an autobahn. A bit like driving a train Amanda ??

Days 56- 58(Thurs 24/9 - Sat 26/9)

Thursday: we decided to chance the weather. Grabbing our allweather jackets and umbrellas we set off down the road to explore Adelaide city centre and the tram to Glenelg and Jetty Rd.
We soon discovered on asking some very friendly locals at the bus-stop that here your not charged by the section but by 2hr or daily tickets for all public transport. So we bought a ticket to ride the bus' and trams all day. We rode the tram to Glenelg which is a beach suburb on a very windy overcast day. Here we walked the jetty and square, visited the museum(very interesting), walked the Jetty Rd shops and had lunch.We returned by tram to the city centre and walked along Rundle Mall,stopping to look at the different sculptures there as well as the shops. One famous group are the 4 pigs - see picture.
We returned to the bus with barely a drop of rain all day having carried our rain jackets and umbrellas all day ! The first time we hadn't needed them this week!!
Friday was predicted to be a very cold day with bad storms so we decided to have a lazy day in the bus. Just as well!
Saturday was spent at Port Adelaide and the bay. We visited the Seahorse Farm and spent quite a bit of time there. Very interesting and great to watch. The owner Tracey and staff were always on hand to answer questions,explain and generally talk with you about the seahoses and farm. There were lots of new ponies(babies) even 1 born while we were there and many ready to mate, or doing the mating dance. A great place to visit,we thought...
Amanda you must take the children when you're here next week !!
We drove around the Port and out to Semaphore but it was too windy, cold and rainy to get out and enjoy the beach and foreshore activities so we drove along the coastal suburbs and back to the park.

For anyone coming to Adelaide and looking for a c'van park we would recommend the Adelaide Caravan Park as it is central to everything.

Days 54- 55(Tues 22/9 - Wed 23/9)

Tuesday morning we had Lube Mobile arrive at the c'van park to do a scheduled oil change on the bus then set off to The Central Markets where we planned to stock up on FRESH food after all this time. Of course it was raining so we took the bus deciding that if we couldn't park it we'd come back and set off again. We had no real difficulty parking.
For anyone coming here this is the best way to buy fresh produce cheaply. We bought veges, meat, dairy - cheeses, dips etc, bread($1.50 a loaf), lollies and chocolate(including chocolate covered dried strawberries),and apple pie, and .. had lunch. Only problem - too many vendors to choose from!!
Wednesday was overcast so we decided to take the bus and drive into the Adelaide Hills. First stop The Mt Lofty Summit for 360 degree views. You can see out to Kangaroo Island on a good Day !! but not today ! It was 8 degrees up there.
We then drove on to Hahndorf, a town originally established by German Lutheran families and known for it's shops and cafes etc. We had smoked fish tasting and bought some pates and fish. Cheese,jam,chutney and chocolate tasting etc. We will need to return again as we ran out of time as We wanted to drive out to the chocolate factory before it closed and had to leave. This proved unnecessary as we were not impressed with the prices here after visiting the Central Markets and George was not impressed by the Cheese next door.Last stop was the Toy Factory and Giant Rocking horse at Gumeracha, a great place to buy wooden toys)
We returned to Adelaide via the Gorge Rd, which was an unexpected find, and arrived back very late. It followed the Torrens River back into Adelaide(35k's) which was no more than a creek at times but at others a raging torrent after the rains, and very wide in the Chain of Ponds area. A beautiful drive, even more so I would think in nice weather.

Days 52- 53(Sun 20/9 - Mon 21/9)

Sunday arrived.Before leaving Port Augusta we climbed the Water Tower Lookout(I was a little slow and the tower moved a little in the winds)for great 360 degree views of the area. These included the Flinders Ranges and the coastline. We also visited the Info. Centre and bought a few souvenirs for family.
We then drove down the coast to Port Pirie(some lovely old buildings,including one with a Widow's Walk) and onto Crystal Castle where we turned inland to drive through to the Clare Valley area where we planned to visit an old friend.
"What a difference a day makes ..." came to mind as we were now surrounded by storm clouds, lightening and rain off and on all day, and the next. We raced to find our winter clothes once more as the temps plunged to 15 degrees. The countryside was surreal as it resembled English green fields with fat woolly sheep and cows - not what we're used to at home or anywhere on this trip. We have now begun to travel through pastoral country and the fields are full of different grain crops including canola, wheat and barley and the towns have huge silos and grain storage areas. We are also travelling through vineyard country. We stayed the night at a friend's place, who is busy pruning her grapevines. It was great to catch up over dinner,and Jess enjoyed the company of another teenage girl,the dogs and a ride on a horse while we helped feed the other horses. Our friend is also setting up a stud farm. It was a great break in our travels in the bus.
Monday arrived and we continued our drive through similar country to Adelaide. As the day moved on the storm clouds, thunder and lightening grew worse. We arrived at the outskirts of Adelaide and our first traffic and lights in 7 weeks and it bucketed down. The Torrens River runs behind the C'van park we're staying in, in the middle of Adelaide, and it rose quite high in the gorge. Enough to cover the walking and bicycle paths and the crossing path. We were told rain is predicted all week but we'll do our best to see it all!

Days 49- 51(Thurs17/9 - Sat19/9)

Hi all,
Thursday: Left Coober Pedy safely and began the drive south to Port Augusta. We think that Coober Pedy may have almost had it's yearly rainfall of 5 inches in one night. We are continuing to travel through desert country or what they call Arid Lands and the rain overnight has left standing water over the gibber plains. Absolutely amazing to see. We have been travelling at a good time of year, not counting the heat, as it is Spring and there have been wildflowers to be seen in each area.We have travelled 8ooo km's and about 5000 of that through arid lands.
We stayed the night in Lake Hart rest stop which was a salt lake.We had front row seats in our bus for the sunset and sunrise, and great company once more.George walked the lake during the early evening and we all walked over the lake on Friday morning before leaving. There was evidence on the lake of this being a salt mine in the past.
Friday :We continued on our way with more of the same beautiful country - gibber and low salt bush scrub,salt lakes and water laying on the gibber.The colour changes constantly if your inclined to look. We arrived in Port Augusta and have spent our time housekeeping and relaxing. We leave tomorrow to make our way down to Adeleide via Port Pirie and the Clare Valley.
Look after yourselves.
Love Lynne

Days 48- 50 (Mon 14/9 - Wed16/9)

We began a new part of our journey on Monday as we turned south down the Stuart Hwy and after 80km's arrived at the border into South Australia. Here we were reminded to dispose of our fruit and veg so once more George and Jess ate the remaining mandarins and grapes, and I cooked the apples ready for sweets that night.
It was here a young tour bus driver began to talk with George about our bus and invited us to lunch. He had 7 tourists on board and food for 15 and was sick of throwing food out so he organised for us to meet them at the next rest stop for lunch. This worked out well as we were 8 days out of Alice and out of bread. We had hot bbq chicken drummettes and wings with salad and talked with the overseas tourists. What a change from sandwiches and rolls.
The country on this leg is very dry and sparse. The road surrounded by huge Cattle stations or Aboriginal lands, the latter taking up the whole north-west of the state.We camped at Cadney Homestead(no longer a free stop)and continued our journey into Coober Pedy on Tuesday,arriving at lunch time.
We had intended to do a 4wd tour out to the Breakaways but the one we wanted to do wasn't running. Jessica mentioned she'd love to stay underground so we used our saved money for that instead. She was excited and we booked into The Experience Motel(Comfort Inn)for the night and headed next door to the Old Timer's Mine. This was a step back in time - we donned hard hats and went underground into the mine which was a self guided tour through the history and facets of Opal mining.There was also a demonsration of a tunnel cutting machine and a blower.This is well worth a visit.
We ended the day up the main street at John's Pizza, which we had heard about in Yulara, with Pizza and Milkshakes for dinner. Our 2nd meal out in 7 weeks. Then headed back to the underground motel to watch tv(the first in 7 weeks) and go to bed.
Wednesday :we had a late start,leaving the motel in the rain,and headed back up the main street where we looked through the underground Umoona Museum and Opal shop, the Underground Book shop, and 2 underground churches - the anglican Catacombe Church and The Revival Church. The latter's Pastor owned the Motel we stayed at and we had several interesting discussions with him over the 2 days. His church had opalised shell fossils in the roof which were part of an ancient sea bed. The museum had displays of sea creatures from the dinosaur period.
The day has ended with a thunderstorm and constant heavy rain, quite amazing as the areas yearly rainfall is about 5 inches and we seem to be having it all now. Unfortunately we have booked into a c'van park out of town in a mining claims area that is accessed by 1 km of dirt. Could be an interesting exit in the morning.

Proposed Itinerary:
3 nights in Port Augusta after 2 days hwy travel. Possibly a detour to Woomera and Roxby Downs on these 2 days.
Adelaide - 5 nights
Victor Harbour, Coorong, Mt Gambier, Great Ocean Rd
