Our Australia trip

We were hoping for a cooling down overnight but that didn’t happen. So today another hot one. We decide to make it tourist day and visit the sights of the Barossa. We have some time to kill until Saturday when we’re visiting Colin for the bus service and a repaired kite, so what better way […]

It has now been six days and still my kite that was sent with overnight post on 6 December hasn’t arrived at the repairer. I’m truly annoyed with Australia Post and write an email and ring to explain my dissatisfaction. It doesn’t help. So on we go, we decided that the coast on this side […]

Now we’re not far from a nice kiting spot (if we can believe the posts on a popular Australian kiting website called Seabreeze). This certainly is a windy spot. So when we come to Edithburg and the nearby Sultana point we’re not disappointed. Unfortunately the wind is not enough for my just acquired 9m kite […]

Fly’s in your nose, your eyes, and even last night in my beer. That was the decider, this was not a place to stay. No matter the nice view and location of the bus. Marjo was a bit sad, she liked the wind here. And the sunset. So we came to a compromise. One more […]

The Gap was not our most favourite spot and we decided to move onto the bush camping earlier located by Marjo in our camp book. So again the lovely 15 km of dirt road. Nossi wasn’t happy but Dotti couldn’t care less. We passed a nice girlie lake (I should of course not be a […]

After waking up and another shower (it didn’t cool down below 27 at night and is already well in the 30’s in the morning) we pack up. Today we’re switching peninsula’s. That is, we’re leaving Eyre behind and diving deep into Yorke. It seems that there are plenty of bush campings here if you’re a […]

We thought that last night was hot, well we were wrong. Chased inside by midges (miniscule little cretins that leave nasty bite marks) we were sweating most of the night. That surely contributed to Marjo being up at 6 am and capturing the gorgeous sunrise. I watched it from my bedroom window 🙂 Then we […]

This stop was nice but enough for an overnight stop only. After feeding Marjo, the dogs and Pluto we’re on our way. The little town of Port Neill tries to get on the map and become more attractive, but somehow I don’t think that frequently grading an already reasonably smooth dirt road to the town […]

It’s difficult to say goodbye from a place with such good memories. Here it was I made friends with Randy (when he introduced himself to Marjo, she replied with “sometimes”) who then came over every time with a liter of home brewed beer and kept feeding me more. And also where the kite decided it […]

From Louth Bay we want to try the next bush camping along this coast which seems to be Lipson Cove. First we have an opportunity to stock up on water at Tumby Bay, a nice but sleepy town where we take the dogs for a stroll along the town beach. Then we drive another 20km […]
