Time for another update, well I have made it home, so thanks goes to Uncle George for looking after me and his Goon (His favorite car) I am sure he was smiling down and helping us along on the journey.
Drove to Mildura on Monday, stopped at Echuca and had some lunch, Ronda bought some wine, made it to Mildura good as gold, Had an offer to stay at Gav & Josie's house, Had to decline the first night as we had no PJ's, a quick shopping spree on Tuesday morning fixed that (did not want to scare Gav and Josie's boys) then stayed at there lovely house on Tuesday night, had a great dinner (sorry I am so fussy Josie) and plenty of chatting and laughing.
Wednesday morning we where off to Port Augusta via the Clare valley.
Stopped at Spalding for an ice cream.


Then on to Port Augusta, found a decent motel (bonus was king sized bed) after finding most booked out.


Next morning was onward to Coober Pedy, we stayed at the underground motel, have done so before and if you havent done it before it is a quirky thing to do.
Some rooms walls still have opal in it.


This morning we left early (wanted to have breaky at Cadney Park - Good truckie meals)


And some of the vehicles we shared the road with.

Dont you get too excited there Karen and Phil, passed about a dozen of the bloody things - and I though the Goon was slow.

And finally - home at last.
All is now unpacked and put away.

Have to mow the grass tomorrow.
