In the words of Ralph Kramden....
Here we are parked up on the cliffs just north of Balgowlen on the west coast of
Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. Glass of white, some nibblies, beautiful view.
After sunset tho, the wind came up something chronic. We had to retreat back behind a
sand dune. Even then the van was a'rockin' all night long. And none of it down to us!!

We went into Walleroo on the way here. Where did that spring up from?? What a beautiful canal development. A few dollars worth of houses in there.
We are now camped at Port Julia for a few days exploring unhitched then it's off north and eventually into NSW via
Broken Hill and then QLD and all points north.
cheers

Beautiful part of the world. My in laws live in
Wallaroo (aboriginal name meaning Wallaby's Urine).
On your way through SA, be sure to call through
Clare on your way to
Broken Hill. Wineries, historical buildings etc.
If you're heading towards
Adelaide, pop in for a coffee, refill the water tanks, do your laundry etc if you wish.
Enjoy!..... Fab.

Hullo Bruce,
up to
Cairns and the
Atherton Tablelands and then across to the Gulf, then the NT, then Rabbit Flat on the Tanami, down to Alice, south to the Trans Line and down thru
Lake Gairdner to the Eyre Hwy and
home.
Then we start preparing for our 3rd grandchild in September.
cheers
