The weather people were telling us it would be a lousy day, full of rain and very cold, so we had already decided that this would be a rest day. This meant that the jigsaw progressed to almost half done, the books got read, we had a sleep in, and we watched a bit ofContinue reading “Lazy Rainy Day 31/7/22”

Point Nepean 30/7/22
We took a drive down to the tip of the Peninsula to see the Point Nepean area. This area has been significant for its use as a quarantine station and also by the military for training and defence. Both uses have left behind many traces to engage our minds. Once the area was no longerContinue reading “Point Nepean 30/7/22”
Cape Schanck 29/7/22
Today we had a really quiet morning, with a long sleep-in. We took a bit of time to get our bearings around the place and play some table tennis and pool, before starting a jigsaw (The edge is done except to 3 pieces) and doing some shopping for supplies. Since the day was sunny (evenContinue reading “Cape Schanck 29/7/22”
Day 2 of the trip north.
No Entries and Control Checking Day 2 started with a cooked breakfast at Rodney’s with toast made from his delicious home made bread and eggs from “ his girls”. After packing up, and a quick tour of the garden, we were off around 10- just in time to see his next visitors arriving (some peopleContinue reading “Day 2 of the trip north.”
A little trip North-Day 1
From Home to Owen After winning a $50 voucher each in the state tourism ballot we decided to use our windfall to assist with the costs of a trip north. We haven’t been this way for a while and we decided to fulfil one of our orienteering responsibilities and check the permanent orienteering course atContinue reading “A little trip North-Day 1”

3/9/21 The penultimate day. Streaky Bay to Caralue Bluff Conservation Park
We started off the day by setting off the smoke alarm in our cabin. In our defence I must say that the kitchen set up made it impossible to put the fry pan under the exhaust fan and the frypan was always destined to be smoky. We heard at least 3 other cabins do theContinue reading “3/9/21 The penultimate day. Streaky Bay to Caralue Bluff Conservation Park”
2/9/21-Made it to Streaky Bay
We had a vague plan to get to Talia Caves today, but the wind was strong, then the rain started and the weatherman was predicting thunderstorms. We decided to do the traditional “ shelter from the storm” move in imitation of the time we got a cabin at Streaky when we were swagging across fromContinue reading “2/9/21-Made it to Streaky Bay”
1/9/21- Back in SA
We were relieved to make it to the border and find that we were still allowed to re-enter our home state. With all that is going on with COVID closures (and especially truckers over these borders) we always had it in the back of our mind that we might miss our window of opportunity ifContinue reading “1/9/21- Back in SA”
31/8/21 Heading across the Nullarbor from Peak Charles
We packed up from our little bush camp in the shadow of Peak Charles and quickly checked out the start of the walk trail. It looks like the last part of the walk (to the top of the mountain) is a bit extreme. Apparently it is unable to be rated as it exceeds the walkContinue reading “31/8/21 Heading across the Nullarbor from Peak Charles”
