Currently we are in Coober Pedy just waiting on the Mail run tour scheduled for Monday the 14th. We were suppose to have been on the tour Monday the 10th but the downpour on Tuesday put a halt to that where Coober Pedy had a years rainfall of 115mm in 1 day. The main street was under water and we had a river flowing past our caravan.
We are currently in Port Augusta preparing for the next leg heading towards Alice springs. We had originally planned to spend a couple of nights free camping roadside somewhere but the forecasted temperatures of 38 degrees and Northerly winds had us looking for a caravan park to run the airconditioner instead. We plan to head off tomorrow when the winds are predicted to blow from the South which is more favorable for us.
Well here we are sitting in Edithburgh our paradise is lost... at least for the day the gentle breases cascading across the water of yesterday has given way to cyclonic, tornado, force 10 caravan rock and rolling winds of today...
We are feet-up in Edithburgh about 250 km South of Port Pirie eastern bottom of the Yorke Peninsula in a nice caravan park right on the foreshore. Any closer the caravan would have to be a boat as we would be in the water. We have so far made our way from Whyalla to Port Augusta then around the western half of the Yorke Peninsula.
We are in Whyalla and had planned to leave today but as the weather was so nice and predicted hot weather where we were heading we decided to stay another day so here we are sitting out front of the van over looking Spencers Gulf.
