Off to buggerup. Oops Ongerup
« on: September 20, 2012, 05:09:03 am »
This thread is for Gert who I amused in Margaret River when I told her about our holiday plans to drive from Adelaide to Ongerup in WA and return with 2 kids in a campervan in 10 days.
The day of our big adventure has arrived. We picked the campervan up this morning and it has taken hours to pack everything in. I've left heaps of things at home that I'd intended to take with us, as space is limited.
The kids have had fun this morning playing in the van and are now safely strapped in the back.
We are currently driving through the roadworks for the new expressway which is looking very impressive.

We are aiming for Cleve on the Eyre Peninsula today!
Oh, here is a photo of the van in our driveway. I'll take a better one later

I will try to keep you updated but will depend on Internet coverage

Oh Sue I would love to be coming with you - it sounds like a great adventure albeit it a very short one.  Travel safely and I hope the kids haven't started asking 'are we there yet'  :D

B%$$#^&&&. I just wrote a long message and lost it.
Not a lot of coverage for you ES. Nullabor has it about 20km each side of it. Caiguna, Cocklebiddy and Balladonia have none.

Suzanne it is about 2725km from Adelaide to Perth.

Drive safely ES.

We ate stopped at roadworks and it has started to rain

It is very green and pretty here at the moment. We are driving past wheat and canola fields and there are lots of sheep in the paddocks too. Next town is Pt Pirie
