We couldn’t avoid the day finally arriving, so we met it face on and early in the hopes that we could make the best of what we had to come. With toilet tents and signs loaded in the van (and friends bringing the emptied Porta Potties a little later on) we headed on out toContinue reading “SA Long Champs Wilpena Creek 11/6/23”

Rawnsley Orienteering 10/6/23
We had a lazy start to the day. The relaxation of the time was greatly affected by a phone call from one of the orienteers who rang to say that he was unable to bring the toilets which we had arranged for him to tow up from Jamestown. Unfortunately the lights on the toilets wereContinue reading “Rawnsley Orienteering 10/6/23”
Appila Springs to Rawnsley via Wilpena. 9/6/23
We were woken to the quiet mumbling of the friendly apostle birds who were scratching around with their family of five near the camper. It was chilly but not overly cloudy or raining. After a leisurely breakfast we packed up and we’re pulling out of camp just on 10 am. Our only goal was toContinue reading “Appila Springs to Rawnsley via Wilpena. 9/6/23”
Witchelina walking – getting there day 2 (21/5/23)
The first van pulled out at about 8:30, raising us from our comfy warm dozing into a crispy morning. We took our time getting up and about but we’re eating breakfast by the time Al Pettet dropped in on his way home from riding his motor bike in the Simpson. (on his way home fromContinue reading “Witchelina walking – getting there day 2 (21/5/23)”
Easter 2023
Leaving home at 1130 seems to be what we can manage without too much stress. The odometer turned over to 222222 at about Two Wells, just after we turned off of the Port Wakefield road and headed towards our planned lunch spot at Balaklava. We were trying to drive on roads we hadn’t taken before.Continue reading “Easter 2023”
It’s not just about the destination but about the journey too. 18/2/23
We are keen to see our loved ones but have so enjoyed the relaxed life of the fisher, camper and traveller.

Cummins towards home 17/2/23
Trevor went off on bus round with Vinnie. The round goes out to the North West of Cummins and is about 100km total-mostly on dirt. The kids all had swimming sports day. Then we all sat around eating scrumptious breakfast, drinking tea and putting off the moment of leaving. Nat picked some fresh veg forContinue reading “Cummins towards home 17/2/23”
Coffins to Cummins 16/2/23.
Coffins Bay to Cummins is actually a 40 min drive according to Google maps but we actually spent 2 1/2 hours getting out of the park (leaving camp at 1045) and then another 4 hours to check out some local spots on the way to Cummins (arriving around 5:30pm). Our packing up was quick (asContinue reading “Coffins to Cummins 16/2/23.”

We headed for the rocks 🪨 one last time this morning. we don’t need the fish for tea tonight, so we agreed to only keep the big ones. Bob, our mentor, instructor and encourager was also, once again the scaler and filleted for our little group of four. Alan and Rob looked after their own.Continue reading “The last day of fishing. 15/2/23”
Perfect Day for Valentines Day 14/2/23
The wind had dropped and we had perfect still water as we walked along the beach towards our favourite rock fishing spot. As we headed on to the rocks Trev spied a hooded plover pair. We saw another one on the shore as we walked back a few hours later, laden down with such aContinue reading “Perfect Day for Valentines Day 14/2/23”
