Our Adventure

A Troop Carrier and Caravan.
12 months around Australia.
Mum, Dad and four kids.
Sounded like a good idea at the time!
Follow us around Australia as we attempt to School 3 kids and a preschooler, continue working by giving remote desktop support a whole new meaning and enjoy the whole experience...

Iron Knob

After a scary night in the caravan we decided we were done with the wind & rain. We packed up for a travel day ahead. We were going to do a short day but there's not much to see on the West coast so we thought, after a family meeting, we'd push on the the tip of the Eyre Peninsula. 
Found this cool place. Looks like a set from the Bold & the Besutiful but on the Yorke Peninsula. Arrgh...I thought I was on the Gold Coast.

We did a quick stop at Nick's Bakery for some nice fresh bread. The kids have discovered Fritz sandwiches....so SA. I'm surprised they haven't developed a love of Farmers Union Iced Coffee. Those who are from SA will understand. 

Port Augusta mud flats. I just don't get it. We drove through this time...didn't even stop for fuel.

I'm officially entering unchartered territory. I've never headed West from Port Augusta...this is exciting! Such beautiful country. I have one question for you..."If I drive for days & see nothing but sheep, why is lamb so darn expensive?"

Another Wiki Camp suggestion. We are staying at Iron Knob. It is a mining town...one of the original iron ore mines. They even let off a blast to herald our arrival. They have set up a community campground...toilet, shower, plaything, even exercise equipment. It's nothing flash but just a donation for fees.
