Finally we are off on a caravan adventure which is longer 1 week. Time to head across the 'Bour' and up the middle to Darwin. Plan is to visit some of the sights we missed last time around but also revisit a few of the favorites as well.
Leaving Adelaide it was time to head west back towards WA. Hard to believe but this 4 year adventure was almost over. We still have a few more weeks left and our next Destination was Streaky Bay and Ceduna. We would also catch up with Bruce an Gina as they were heading up from Port Lincoln on the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula.
Moving on from Murray Bridge out next destination was Adelaide. We decided to follow the Bowhill and Hunter Roads towards Blanchetown instead of driving down the M1 through the Lofty Ranges as we had planned to stay in Gawler which is on the North side of Adelaide near the Barrossa Valley wine region. This saved us going through the centre of Adelaide as there is no real freeway or bypass through or around the city like other major Australian cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, etc.... The road out mostly followed the western bank of the Murray River. We turned towards Gawler onto the A20 which is the Sturt Hwy, crossing over the Murray at Blanchetown. The modern road was fairly easy to drive, passing through the Barrossa we made a point of going back there later in the week.
Leaving Mt Gambier we started heading in a north westerly direction up towards Adelaide. The last few days have been freezing here. Would you believe our little $20.00, twenty year old fan heater was the only thing that stood between us and frostbite, it has done a great job.
