Carrieton Carry Ons
From our base at the Carrieton Caravan Park we have been exploring the local area. The first day we headed up to Hawker. We had lunch at the Flinders Food Company. The food was delicious. Nina and I had Steak Sandwiches and Emily the Burger with Mum going for the...
First of the Flinders
We are on the move again now reaching into the southern Flinders Ranges. And guess what we found another painted silo. I could hear the cheer of delight from Nina and Emily half a K back. This one is at Wirrabarra (which I found out is pronounced Weer-ab-a-ra not...
Moonta Miners Cottage
It was a bit of a cold and drizzly Sunday here at Wallaroo so we took mum for a bit of a drive to Moonta. The area is known as the Copper Triangle with Copper mines at Moonta and Kadina and a smelter at Wallaroo. We stopped at the...
Family Ties
Saturday afternoon was a visit to see Brian. He’s still in his lovely old stone house in Kadina. Mind you the garden has grown a lot since I was last there and it is now surrounded by a literal jungle with palm trees and all. Awesome. Big brother and...
Mildura To Buster

We have questioned our sanity a number of time on this trip already. So yesterday, to escape the madness, Nina and Emily got their nails done while I stayed at the van with Nana. Mum asked if I would drive her back home to Melbourne. From which sprang an...
Nightlife In Mildura
So you think this is a post about cute nocturnal animals… spoiler alert. Sorry no cute animals in this post. This is my first post on the blog and I know Ross said in our first post why would two purportedly sane adults do what we are doing. Go...
Is This Supposed To Be Fun
Today in Mildura was hot with a dusty, blustery wind. Not conducive to doing very much so we just pottered about the van. I did some odd jobs that needed doing on the van. Nina got a little bit of crocheting done. Emily rested. Nana did a bit of...
Mildura
Finally I can bring you all up to date. We left Dimboola and headed to Mildura. A stop at Hopetoun by their lovely Lake Lascelles for lunch, the pies and salad rolls from the bakery where great.? We where off again but a short time later we started having...
