Magnificent morning and on the road at 9.30am minus Maree
& Paul and Stuart & Sue, a bit sad as we pulled away and left them all
behind as it has been a fun time being with them all. We all went over to the Deep Blue Café last
night for our farewell dinner as well as an early celebration with “fizzy” for
my birthday. Maree & Paul gave me a
coffee mug with a picture of Mum on it, I love it and can give Mum a kiss every
time I have a cuppa. Stuart & Sue gave me a heap of “scratchies” and I am
making myself scratch one a day so I can stretch it out. I am sure there is a winning ticket in there
somewhere, fingers crossed. While we were at Moana we managed to do a bit of
“Booteek” shopping which was excellent, managed to nab a few bargains but don’t
think we have Sue converted quite yet. Stopped at Port Wakefield for a food
break for Wayno then back on the road and veered off the Highway towards Port
Broughton for our next stop. Trying to
keep to the “B” roads if we can and travel through some towns that we haven’t
seen before like Bute and Ninnes before passing through Port Pirie and up to
Port Augusta for a refuel. Port Augusta was very quiet as it’s a Saturday
afternoon and there is not a lot of people about. Our overnight stop is Nuttbush Caravan Park
which is situated at the Pandurra Homestead.
Great pool where we all cooled off and then had sausages and mash in the
camp kitchen for dinner…..yummy. While
we were sitting there the caretakers (Kevin & Susie), came over for a chat,
very interesting couple that have travelled around Australia a lot and had
quite a few stories to tell. Wind is
still a little annoying so I hope that abates by tomorrow.
