Day 81: Canberra to home!
Saturday 24th September 2022 Going home today! Such a strange feeling after three months away. I feel very sad that the trip is over, but also excited to see our house and garden again. The kids feel a bit the same way, and also worried about going back to preschool/school again. Luckily they have two…

Day 80: Hay to Canberra
Friday 23rd September 2022 Heading homewards! We slept in till 8:30 in our dark cabin, then visited the playground and a cafe for a coffee, so we were again leaving after 10. We had a 5 1/2 hour drive to get to Canberra, so we could see friends before getting home. There has been so…

Day 79: Adelaide to Hay
Thursday 22nd September 2022 We got up reasonably early to pack ready to go, then ended up lingering over breakfast and coffee (complete with chocolate biscuits, of course!). It was a beautiful sunny morning (finally!), and it would have been nice to enjoy the lovely spring day. We finally got going after 10, with a…

Days 74 – 78: Adelaide
Saturday 17th – Wednesday 21st September 2022 Our time in Adelaide we took very easy, and didn’t do much at all, so I am covering it in one post. ☺️ And I needed a break from late night blog writing, which I pretty much replaced directly with late night wine drinking! 😆 Adelaide was very…

Day 73: Melrose to Adelaide
Thursday 15th September 2022 We woke to a beautiful sunny morning in Melrose. Otis and Richie watched the cook and the chef in bed while Bonnie and I tried to sleep in a little longer in the next room. Then breakfast – Otis seems to have recovered from his latest knock on the head –…

Day 72: Speeds Point to Melrose
Wednesday 14th September 2022 It was windy and rainy during the night and we woke early to the sound of thunder! We got the kids up and did a quick pack up of what was left, but in the meanwhile the storm skirted around us, and we were left with an eerily calm morning –…

Day 71: Speeds Point
Tuesday 13th September 2022 We got up early to walk the reef at low tide. We saw some great starfish, but otherwise were battling a strong wind! We headed back to attempt to make coffee in the strong wind, rigging up various wind protection devices around the stove! After breakfast we rang dad for a…

Day 70: Ceduna to Speeds Point
Monday 12th September 2022 I woke feeling really well rested! Not so Richie, who was apparently settling Otis part of the night. I guess I was too tired to realise! 😁 Our motel stay included breakfast – particularly exciting for the kids! They both had coco-pops (Bonnie tried the fruit loops and didn’t like them,…

Day 69: Eucla to Ceduna
Sunday 11th September 2022 Richie got up early – at 5:45 – to walk to the beach! Though given the time is about to jump forward 1 1/2 hours that was probably a good time to get up! The caravan drove off shortly after, disappointing Bonnie who was hoping the kids might appear for a…

Day 68: Fraser Range to Eucla
Saturday 10th September 2022 We had an early start to the day. Richie got up at six to do some bird watching, so had coffee ready before 7! We packed up, and with the simpler tent set up, and early start we were gone by nine. We were planning a long drive to get to…
We are on holiday!
