As we continued our Flinders Hwy run toward our next stop, Elliston, we passed through the locality of Colton. It's a 'blink and you'll miss it' spot. Going through, I spotted an old derelict church there. It's flies to a honeypot for me when such a structure is standing out on its own, and in a farm pa...

Goodbye to Ceduna, and we made our way along the coastal route, Flinders Hwy, south-east, the long road to Port Augusta. As we discovered on the way home, the coastal run is the choice one, even if it does add a couple of hundred kays to the journey. It's well worth the trek. The run back along the inland Ey...

Back again; life has been getting in the way. So.. we had crossed the Nullarbor, and drove into Ceduna just in time to be hit by South Oz's 'Big Storm' in late September '16. We had a good spot in the cara park and suffered no damage. The blow held us up for about a week while we waited for power to be rest...

When we moved to Darwin we had a shiny new Suzuki Vitara, one trip out to Litchfield convinced me the Vitara wouldn't survive; so armed with some dosh we ventured into the car yards and emerged with a 1998 Hilux dual cab diesel.

Quite probably the only thing that cannot be completed planned is the impact of 'family' on the full-time traveller ... when they need ya - ya gotta come. Anyway, I was able to get a bit of time away this month for a bit of "eucalyptus therapy". I nee...
