Mt Remarkable National Park - SA

We stopped in at Mambray Campground in the Mt Remarkable National Park (three hours north of Adelaide) for one night and left a week later...We met lots of great families here, so the highlight of the stay for the boys was adventuring around camp with the other 25-odd children there.We also loved the emus strolling through camp, bushwalks and our woodwork and crafty projects...

Rocks for sale.... 10 cents.... Yes they sold some!!!

Fleurieu Peninsula - SA

We headed south of Adelaide for adventures on the Fleurieu  Peninsula. We stayed in the Newlands Conservation Park, played in the sand dunes, built a wooden outrigger canoe (which we later set sail at Moana Beach), took long walks spotting kangaroos.

Adelaide - Sydney - Hunter Valley

Leo, Frankie and I popped back to Sydney for a hip check-up at Westmead, Anastasia's 40th birthday craft night and  then on to the Hunter Valley for my sister Meli's 40th. We had such a great visit, miss everyone so much xxx

Camping by the Murray Darling River - SA

The boys got some new hats... which they love!

mischief...

We pulled into Mannum and camped beside the Murray Darling River - Australia's most significant and longest navigatible river. We spared a thought for all those that had camped here before us. We saw the Murray Princess float by (an old-fashioned paddle-wheeler hotel on water).

 We crossed the Murray Darling and drove thru the Adelaide Hills - beautiful Autumn colours everywhere.

Port Fairy, Victoria

Beautiful sunny days here at Port Fairy. There is a nice vibe here, good community, great coffee, little theatre, local markets, farmers markets, good library, good diving and surf.
