17—20 Nov—Gilgandra, NSW As we left Cobar it was a pleasant, easy run as we travelled on the Barrier Highway to Nyngan where we join the Mitchell Highway to Nevertire where we turned left onto the Oxley Highway to Gilgandra showground – although there was a bit of gusty wind across us for the later …
15—17 Nov—Cobar, NSW It was travel day again and we headed off again along the Barrier Highway on our way to Cobar Caravan Park. It was a loooong drive of 454 km or for us six hours including a few stops. Reen did another couple of hours driving, so getting her hand in quite well. …
10—15 Nov—Broken Hill, NSW Today we arrived back into NSW – politically at least – Broken Hill operates on SA time and is more operationally connected to Adelaide than Sydney! We had a smooth drive up the Barrier Highway and Reen had her very first run with towing the CARDIS. She seemed to cope pretty …
6—10 Nov—Peterborough, SA In the morning it was time to move on again and we were ready to leave the station, though sadly, and head to Peterborough Caravan Park.

31 Oct—6 Nov—Rawnsley Park Station, SA It’s Friday and we are off again, this time deeper into the Flinders Ranges to Rawnsley Park Station.

27—31 Oct—Quorn, SA It’s time to move on again and today it is a short run north to Quorn Caravan Park. We travelled on the Eyre Highway to Port Augusta and then onto the Augusta Highway and turned left on the Flinders Ranges Way through to Quorn. Being a short trip meant we arrived in …
22—27 Oct—Whyalla, SA As we left Tumby Bay we turned right onto the Lincoln Highway and followed it all the way to the Discovery Foreshore Caravan Park. It was an easy run up with a bit of a tail-wind but when we arrived it was very windy for the whole evening. We visited the Information …
3—22 October—Tumby Bay, SA It’s time to move on again and we are heading to Tumby Bay on another sunny day with almost no wind so it was quite a long easy run through gently undulating beautiful, countryside. Along the roadside there was lots of wild flowers growing; it looked really pretty. We travelled on …
29 Sep—3 Oct—Port Augusta, SA After a fantastic week of catching up with extended family it was time to move onto the next town. We headed out through the mountains, through Stirling and left onto the M1, which took us on the eastern ring road around to join South Rd/M2 north west of Adelaide. This …
22—29 Sep—Ironbank, SA We travelled along the Dukes Highway/A8 then at Tailem Bend we joined the Princes Highway/A1/M1/ South Eastern Freeway which we travelled on until we took a left exit to Stirling then travelled up through the Adelaide hills (very winding and with tight bends) to the Shiloh Hills Park at Ironbank. While we …
