Waiting for Tambo Teddies to open in the morning.
Just pulled up at Tambo and the Dometic fridge won't work on 240.
Going to be looking for Dometic authorised service soon.

Aart Sharron and I have stopped at Tambo Teddy's before. One teddy for Sharron and one for our first grandchild. Then we had to stop again when the second one came along.
Did you name teddy?
Great little shop.

Will try and book it in for Darwin.

All beautiful spots.

What was the road/track like into the Lost City?  Took my Suzuki Grand Vitara in there and thought it was going to break in half.

How is the bird watching going?  Saw my first ever Great Bowerbird at the Lost City.  The one with the pink tuft on the back of it’s neck.

The track into Lost City rough and badly eroded. Used 4 low for a while.

Birds are flightly and difficult to identify in some of the wooded areas.
.plenty of Straw necked Ibis, brolga and red tailed black cockatoos.

Also saw a pair of Partridge Pigeons near a lake outside of Darwin.

I have visited many Commonwealth War Cemeteries, here and overseas.
The one at Adelaide River is the most beautifully maintained I have ever seen.

We had the same or similar problem with our Dometic fridge.  Phoned Dometic and they put us in touch with their agent in Darwin.
Agent came out to our caravan park to assess the problem. Three days later part arrived then fitted. Great service. Ours was fixed under warranty. Cheers Brian.

Catch and release at a farm.
On a salt water lake.
Using live prawns.
Just like fishing from a river bank.
Best time fishing ever.

Great location Aart.  Hopefully we may end up in the north next winter.

Did you end up seeing the Great Bowerbird or just the bower?

Great location Aart.  Hopefully we may end up in the north next winter.

Did you end up seeing the Great Bowerbird or just the bower?


Got to see both.
So many Great Bowerbirds up here.

The road in is 53klm of dirt, equal to the corrugations of Cape York.
At least 30 Creek crossings.
That only gets you to the visitor centre.
Another 27klm to the south end of the park and another 45klm fron there up to the northern end.
Photo of corrugations to follow.

He was in Broome last I heard from him so no doubt scooting down the west coast now.  Internet apparently not the best over there.

Internet is shocking
Spent 2 nights at Barn Hill Station.
Highly recommend it.
Now in Port Hedland.
Mining is on steroids here.
The port can handle 18  300 metre long ore carriers at once.
Tugs are non stop on the go here.
Everywhere you walk or shop you see hiviz clothing.

No Derek.
No accommodation at all.
No free camps nearby.
Pardoo Station and Roadgouse still closed due to cyclone damage.

We have another night at Port Hedland.
Managed to get 2 nights at Karajini NP.
First 2 nights on power at Auski Roadhouse to catch up on washing.
Did managed to get a 3 night unpowered at Coral Bay.
Everywhere is booked out up this way.

Counted wagons on a coal train this morning.... 272, plus 4 locos.

Count the wheels on this.
Yesterday's road we encountered hundreds of these. Thank goodness I did not have to overtake any.
Nor was I overtaken.

We had 3 nights at Shark Bay and made our way to Kalbarri today.
Drove into 30 plus klm headwind.
Best I could get was 25 litres per 100klms.
We had our first rain at Shark Bay, but only at night.

Some photos around the Flinders Ranges.
Driving through a rocky gorge we spotted 8 yellow footed rock wallabies.
Endangered, but in good numbers in that gorge.

Couple of nights at Burra.
Most building made of stone .
Interesting history around copper mining.

Saw a unnamed camp oven in very rusty condition for $2000... 24 inch.
Did not have my phone on me.

Former brewery with cellars

For those that use their product, we found flour mill at Eudunda and Greenock.
Unsure if either is still operating.

You should have said something...

We are less than a 10 minute walk from the brewery...

Which winery? We have 6 in town.

(EDIT) I just realised there is a Schluter Wines carry bag in the image, that just happens to be our usual winery haunt)

The Greenock buildings are used as storage these days. F. Lauke and Lauke Mills are different companies. I haven't got to the bottom of it but they are related, brothers I think, but it is a murky thing (just like all small town histories I suppose).

I admit I was ill prepared as I decided to duck in after I had left home.

I might swing past again but I wasn't sure of you were staying on.

Back at Greenock after a daytime to Hahndorf.
Wanted to buy some German foods.
The German Pantry was closed for the day.
Disappointed that we couldn't get any liverwurst or herring for the remainder of the trip.
Did get to stock up at Beerenberg farm.

Tomorrow we are doing remainder of the wineries and Maggie Beers farm.

TBF,

Absolutely fantastic to catch up.

Sorry about the chainsaws!

I forgot to mention - While I know you are largely self contained, but if you guys feel the need for a proper shower, a swim, charge batteries or even just a night in a house, (etc.) before you move on, just sing out!

We are heading home out of SA.
The vertigo is not improving.

We will return, unknown when.
So much more of SA waiting to be explored.

Just read through the 12 pages of the Cadell COG. 8 pages to organise and then the cooking, camping and sledging really started.
Great memory.

Wonder what Rufas and Smoothas are up to these days.

Wonder what Rufas and Smoothas are up to these days.


Rufzgutz is still active on the Caravanners Forum but hasn’t logged onto here since August 2019.

He got upset that the Cooking Challenge wasn’t going the way he expected.

These 2 were pleased to see each other.
He was 4 weeks old when we left.
Lauren faithfully face timed when we had coverage.
So he got to see us and hear our voices often.

Lovely photo Aart.  That is one thing I am looking forward to when we eventually get home is doing the rounds to catch up with family.

How is your vertigo going?

Doing OK at present.
I still have a sensation that it's just around the corner again.
