25.01.2022 Today we moved a little closer to our kids in Adelaide. Drove from Mount Gambier to Murray Bridge. Drove through the Coonawarra and Padthaway Wine regions and then hit the hay and lucern farms. Lots of strong wind on the road.
23.01.2022 Drove today to the mining town of Whyalla. Did some driving around, will do more tomorrow.

17.01.2022 Drove through the Coffin Bay National Park today, another windy and cold day.
17.01.2022 Today was a long and hard haul, lots of front and side wind which made the going tuff but John did a great job and got us safely to Moonta after a gruelling 7hours with stops.
17.01.2022 (Part 1) Started out with sunrise, then turned cloudy and ended up raining all day, still had a good day sight seeing. Went on board the HMAS Whyalla as guided tour, then a model railway which was really very impressive, then drive out to Point Lowley.
17.01.2022 So finally made it to Mount Isa. Feeling tired as have been driving longer hours through some boring scenery. Road stretches out in front for miles on an end. Stopped at Wycliffe Well for overnight, checked out Devils Marbles, refueled at Annatjere and final overnight at Barkly Homestead.

12.01.2022 Kangaroo Island. Last day yesterday. Went to stokes bay, Snelling and western bend river. Today we got on the ferry back to Aldinga Beach.
