Day 8: Coober Pedy
I can’t believe a week is already past! Today has been an interesting explore of Coober Pedy. Bonnie and I started with a haircut first thing – turns out we are camped next to an underground hairdresser! It was so fascinating to meet a local – Lize has been here for a year from the…

Day 7: Lake Hart to Coober Pedy
The majority of the caravans left the camp site before we were even up, so it was a bit quieter in the morning. We were mostly busy packing up, which has had us trying to reschedule any future one night stopovers. The kids had a lovely play though, and we spent a little time at…

Day 6: Melrose to Lake Hart
Awoke to a very cold morning, thankful that Jodes had organised a late check-out! The caravan park at Melrose was a lovely spot, they have an informal bush camping area away from the main park, so you don’t feel like you are in a caravan park but still have toilets and hot showers. Spent the…

Day 2: Hay to Wentworth
This morning we realised how many essentials were buried deep in the trailer, including coffee and most breakfast supplies! Richie spent an hour digging items out and redistributing things before we could settle down for breakfast. We followed this with a trip to the Hay playground (where we realised this is probably going to be…

On the road….
Tuesday 5th July For a moment it seemed all was against us……..we were covid close contacts, half the family fell to a vomity bug, a 200ml rain forecast threatened to flood us in and we had no power to get the last things done! However, the rain went north, no one got covid, the sick…
We are on holiday!
