Which peninsula are you on? I'm at Victor Harbour at the moment - in a caravan park though because there aren't any good campsites nearby. Rapid Bay is just lovely though.

Hi Linda.nice to hear from you. I am on the eyre peninsula moving across to the yorke in a day or two. I stayed at langhorne creek , lovely, shady and free and south end, $8 I think and right on the beach. Ii am in a coffee shop at the moment so can'check ASAP. I think they are both on your route.

Hi Monica. You're in my territory at the moment. I have daughters in that neck of the woods.
If you have travelled down the coast from Elliston to Coffin Bay you may have enjoyed Sheringa Beach. Some interesting formations on the beach. Safe and happy travels.

Thanks. I did travel that area, a few days in Elliston and a few in coffin bay . I agree, lovely coastline.

You have done well Monica, I'm so jealous. Am enjoying reading you blog, very informative. Off back there now to finish, finding it so interesting.

I have enjoyed writing the blog, Marj - the first time I have attempted one. I hope it is informative without being heavy and that it conveys something of the author. The frustrating bit has been inserting photos as the blogspot won't let me place them where I want to. I just put them as close as I can to the text. Maybe when I get to publish it into book form, I may be able to edit it more accurately.

I am also enjoying your blog, well done and safe travels.

I have just covered the last few days on the blog. Monica, you write so well. I am now green with envy. You are doing what I originally planned. My turn will come.

Have you reached Yorke Peninsula yet???
regards Katrina

I am heading for home, much earlier than i expected. My mother has had a stroke and, although I have said my goodbyes many times, I need to be there. I'm leaving adelaide in the morning.
Monica

Sorry to hear that Monica, hope you make it home in time to give your mum a hug. All the best.

It's unfortunate your travels have to be cut short. Not before we enjoyed a cuppa and a chat fest.
Safe and happy travels.

Was just reading her blog and sadly her mum has passed this morning.

My thoughts go to Monica. She's a strong, individual, but at this time I feel for her.

I am sorry to hear the passing of Monicas mum, My thoughts are with you and your family.

So sorry Monica to hear of you loss. Safe travels home.

Monica, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother, my thoughts are with you and your family......

So sorry to hear about your mum, thinking of you take care.

I am overwhelmed by the support you have all shown me. Thank you all so very much.

The next few days till the funeral on Thursday will be long. But I am blessed. There aren't many whose parents both reached 91. Two of my brothers and I have made all the arrangements. I am currently working on the order of service and thinking about the eulogy that I will deliver with my elder brother. I keep telling my younger siblings that they should take over that task before we older two drop off our perches - just to get the practice. They have all decided that they will learn on the job when their time comes. So I have a lot of thinking and writing to do in the next couple of days - that will hopefully keep me busy. I have made and received dozens of phone calls and probably more when the notice goes in the courier mail on Tuesday. Once again, let me say how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness .
Monica

Sorry to hear of your loss Monica - I am sure you have lots of great memories to share with the people who attend.
Hope it all goes well for you - and you can get back on the road again.
Take care.

I'm sure your eulogy will be filled with positive words of wisdom. Your "wordology" is well-executed, so although it's a "goodbye" message, but it's time to celebrate a life.

our thoughts are with you Monica
