Made it across the Nullarbor

Yes, we made it across the Nullarbor in good time, staying now at the Ceduna Caravan park where there are lovely hot showers, bliss.  Took above photos at the Eucla old Telegraph station including the wattle.  The windmills are at Penong.  Two old farmers in about 2002 decided to restore some windmills that had been superceded by solar pumps in the neighbouring farms.  They got so many that eventually the town set up a park where they could be displayed. The aim is to have one of each type of windmill that was ever erected in Australia.  Some of them are huge.

We are staying in Ceduna 2 nights and then head off to Port Augusta where we have to collect the CMCA mail at the post office and deal with the banking stuff.  Then Jan and I will head off to Broken Hill, Dianne to Victoria and Chris hasn't yet decided where she is going.

All having fun. Still on my first book if you can believe it. I normally go through about 3 in a week. It has proved very difficult to get photos on this blog so they may be sparse.  Love to all.

Well here we are, on the road again... left Perth Anzac day heading east with a group of mates all in our own camper vans, oh except one who is towing a small caravan. We are all travelling together to Port Augusta and then will separate and meet up again on our way home in about two months.  At Port Augusta, I will head off with Jan to Wagga Wagga where she is visiting her grandchildren and I will go on to Canberra to visit Pat and Colin and then onto Sydney to visit Harriet and Co.  Jan and I will join up again before we meet the others at Murray Bridge for us to travel the three South Australian peninsulars.

We spent our first night at Burracoppin and then travelled today to Norseman and tomorrow onto te Eyre Highway.

We did a slight deviation to see Westonia where Chris's father was from (one of the mates). Such a pretty town and well deserved recipient of the Tidy Towns awards for several years..  It has the remains of a gold mine in the main street.

I was amused to see the local tavern had decorated the front door to be a Dockers emblem.
