Monday 2nd - Sunday 8th November
Monday to Wednesday we fished every day except no snapper fishing as its closed season all of November, rather bad timing I thought. Monday had us sweltering in 42 degree heat and hot winds no way of getting away from it, but Maz found a way taking a trip with neighbors to the air conditioned shopping centre, by 4 pm it had dropped about 15 degrees, sounds like Victorian weather!
Point Lowly
Thursday had huge amount of packing as we had spread our stuff everywhere over the week. On the road mid morning and a short drive to Port Augusta, that completed a loop of 20,000 klms and 5 3/4 months.
The afternoon drive was a tour to and around Port Pirie, then off the Hwy into the hills to a small town called Crystal Brook. Friday was a 3 hour drive through The Clare Valley onto The Barossa Valley, fantastic scenery and great small towns. Booked into C/park in Nuriootpa so we can go to the Barossa Farmers Market in the morning. Dinner at the local pub was great, nice local red wine grown and produced by the year 12 kids at the local Secondary College, ordered a dozen bottles to be delivered home yum.
Barossa Valley Farmers Market
Packed and left C/park by 8am then to farmers market, bacon and eggs for breaky all local and fresh produce, well worth a visit, back on the road and travelled through Barmera and Remark then Mildura.... Victoria!!!!! wow.
The plan was to stop and camp near Mildura, but the weather is hot hot so kept driving south through Ouyen then to Sea Lake and camped at the local park. Sunday morning was a 40 mins drive to Quambatook where we will camp for a few days at Dean and Sue's.
