It’s been a while since we’ve had a chance to take off in the camper. Have we forgotten how to do it?
I have certainly forgotten how little I can fit in a 42 litre fridge.
After a final goodbye to part of the family we were on the road just before 1pm and heading north.
The first stop was Vili’s on Main North Road. That’s goodbye to the healthy diet already. (although I did resist Trev’s kind invitation to share his chocolate doughnut)
Next was a stop for cheaper fuel at Virginia where we added 60 litres of fuel before continuing north via Mallala and Balaklava. The burnt trees from the pinery fire are still visible but now less obvious eight years on.
We glimpsed the bright blue of the Owen silo art as we drove on by.
With the BOM telling us the temp was 36.1 and the sun blazing in through the window we made a cuppa stop under the shade of the big pine trees at Red Hill. That poor farmer is still trying to get the work finished with his horse!
And then just a bit later we rolled in to Port Pirie where we will stay with good friends for the night.
The weather forecast is looking good. It will be hot tomorrow as we travel but then it looks like it will be cooler.
We had a lovely night sitting chewing the fat with good friends and keeping them from their work and sleep.
Goodnight until tomorrow.
