Two full days of travelling has bought us back to the home state of Victoria. After leaving Streaky Bay after one last 'hoorah' of fishing, we left after packing the campers, putting the boat back on the car and waving our farewells to this lovely place. It is a lovely place even if it does throw a few weather 'Wobblies' from time to time. Yes, even this time it took our canvas down at 2:00am and even blew Robin's top of his camper down. Firstly the wind blew from the east then completely switched to the west. Needless to say we were very unprepared for either way and a sleepless night was had by all.
On to Kimba where we stopped and talked to some nice boys travelling on their way to Alice Springs for the dirt go-kart National titles finally ending our trip in Port Augusta where be bid sad farewells to 'The Doc' a.k.a. Robin as he went via Adelaide and we made our way over Horracks Pass to Carrieton being welcomed by Gael and Norm.
Spending the night here was lovely as we caught up on all the news, as well as checked out Norm and Gael's handy work in the renovation department of there new house. Norm has the veggie garden well and truly underway, with many varieties to be eaten and bartered in this quaint town.
Heading off this morning and the crops around this neck of the woods were something to behold. Every colour/shade of green, with yellow canola and brown chequer boarding the countryside. Past Burra though it looks a different story with only salt-bush being the main stay.
After crossing the Murray river at Cadel, we slid down the border, crossing into Victoria at Pinnaroo. This way I can go via my old holiday haunts at Galah and check out the crops on the old farm. My uncle will be most impressed(I'm hoping), with the photos I hope to get of the crops and countryside.
This is my second last blog post: my last will be a reflection of the trip - the places, the people the memories.
