It was a glorious morning and I enjoyed a moment of peace and quiet as the sun rose. There were little rabbits and kangaroos hopping everywhere and the serenity was perfect. We took our time getting up and moving, then headed off to Yarrangobilly caves to have a look. As we got there the fog…

This morning Izzy was thrilled to find that the tooth fairy had once again found us on our travels and even left a new King Charles dollar as one of the coins. Lucky! It was day 3 of big driving days and whilst the girls didn’t mind, Chris and I had secret adult fears about…
-
Today was another big driving day, so we were quick to pack up and head on out. Before we knew it we had crossed (briefly) into Victoria, it sprung up on us so quickly that I almost missed the sign… Mildura was a quick stop to grab some food and a quick run around. The…

Everyone was excited to welcome papa back from his Sydney Metallica getaway! But first – more scootering, the girls have been obsessed with their morning and afternoon scooter sessions while we’ve been staying here, which has been lovely. Scarly insisted on wearing her new tutu and helmet. Once papa was back we quickly finished packing…

Scarly woke up confused as to why there was no mama next to her, but they all looked so cute together in our bed. There just wasn’t any room for me and I got a much better sleep once I eventually retreated to Jazzy’s bunk for the night. The girls were keen to scooter again…
-
Everyone was up early (but happy) so we took off for a walk & scooter ride along the foreshore. Scarly is getting so proficient at riding and she loves it! The two older girls started jogging and covered a lot of ground running ahead and then coming back to us. We had a play at…
-
We had to pack up in the rain this morning, but hoped that the weather would change as predicted! On our way out we stopped in town again to have a look around, the girls loved the rose garden (which reminded them of grandma). Our first stop was the Beerenberg farm, but much to our…
-
It was a beautiful morning so we decided to head out for a nice sunrise walk by the beach before we had to leave. It would have been lovely to stay another night, but the weather was meant to be turning and we were trying to get a little closer to Adelaide so that it…
-
I love waking up surrounded by nature and there were only 2 other vans/cars that we could see nearby, so the serenity was real! (At least for us, maybe not for our neighbours with how loud we tend to be). We had a relaxed morning, enjoyed the serenity and I had a couple more meetings…
-
We set off in the morning to make our way down to Dhilba Guuranda Innes National Park. Yorke Peninsula is blessed with many a beautiful beach and coastal town and I believe you could easily spend weeks exploring it, especially in summer! Our first stop for the day was at Moonta Bay, which seemed to…
-
With the weather predicted to be nicer in Port Pirie than our next destination we decided to base ourselves here for an extra night, which also meant one less pack down & set up – winning! While I had some morning meetings Chris took the girls to the park, but it sounded like Scarly had…
-
Waking up in our secluded piece of paradise was wonderful and as we were having breakfast a mob of emus wondered past, which was so special for the kids to see. I really didn’t want to leave it, but we will definitely visit again! We got ready and Scarly has been doing so well with…
-
It was a glorious and sunny start to the day and we decided that it would probably be best to move camps so that we could be closer to all the sites we wanted to visit today. So we packed up and headed into Blinman for a quick visit. Unfortunately the mine was closed as…
-
We all had a big sleep and took our time getting up this morning, eating brekkie and packing up for another day on the road. It seems that after a couple of days out of the van, the effort of packing up is always hardest. We set off and the road was so barren with only…
-
It was time to say goodbye to our quirky stay in Coober Pedy and we all said that we really enjoyed it – the house, the sights and meeting so many interesting people! Highly recommend for an off-the-beaten track adventure. As we left town we made a stop at the Serbian Orthodox dugout church, which…
