Port Augusta was an unexpected extended stay due to the issues with our clutch which I alluded to here and here. After lobbing up at Holden's reception as soon as they'd opened, we ended up spending half of our Monday morning hanging out at Hungry Jack’s which was across the road from the Holden dealership and …

Farewell Flinders Ranges… we will return!
Warning - epic long post ahead! After nearly a week spent in the Flinders Ranges (including an extra day more than anticipated), it’s now time to move on. This is a place that we will definitely come back to although I suspect that there will be many places on our trip that we will vow …
The things we’ve learnt – Week 1
We've been out of range these past few days so I am sitting on top of Stokes lookout watching the sun go down as it's the only place I can get reception! Monday marked a week since we left and we've been talking about what we've learnt in that time... here's the list of the …
All aboard for Peterborough – toot toot!
After our wet start in Broken Hill, we proceeded to Peterborough where we spent 2 nights at the Peterborough Caravan Park. The girls were happy as there was a pretty little park with a big playground next door and heaps of space to finally get the bikes off the bike rack for their first ride …
The low down on Broken Hill
Broken Hill is one of those places I had always wanted to visit but given it was only three hours away, I never wanted to 'waste' my weekends or holidays to go and visit. Overall, my assessment would be that it's a really interesting place, of mismatched pieces that don't seem to have been finished or …
Tears, goodbyes & sangas for dinner
Well, we made it to Broken Hill! Yes there were tears, and some very sad goodbyes, but after a later than desired start, we arrived at the BH Racecourse around 6pm to claim our $15 per night unpowered site... mainly because that was all that was left. A very popular stopover, with very cheap prices, …
The day of reckoning
So today we spent most of the afternoon preparing and packing for our departure tomorrow. After family photos at the Homestead in the morning, we ran around sorting out some last minute things before getting stuck into getting organised. A final cull of all the non-essential stuff was done, yielding a nice little pile of …
T-minus 1 week and counting
I have just come back from a writing conference today and am so tired that my eyes are bugging out of my head! But I couldn't go to bed without acknowledging this fast approaching, life-altering deadline! With my to-do list (that is over 2 pages long) MIA, tomorrow is set to be a busy day …
The highs and lows
It's so nice to see the end of what has been a massive week! Emotional, exhausting and finally over, I'm looking forward to turning my mind towards our impending departure date and crossing off the items on my growing to do list over the next two weeks! To recap (coz I'm too tired to elaborate): …
Dodging the curveballs
Do you ever find that you desperately wish for a calm and easy week and get pounded with the week from hell where the universe conspires against you? Yup, that's me this week! It's the last week of work for both Corey and I which makes it just under 3 weeks before we head off!! …
