Thank you all. This morning we slept in and did the washing, then went and filled the car. By then it was time for lunch so we came back to camp. During the afternoon we went to,the Marion shopping centre as DH needed to go to Dick Smith as our tv aerial packed it in. At the park here it is fine as we have a cable for tv but when we move on we need an aerial   He couldn't get one.
From there we went down to Glenelg. My goodness it has grown so much since we were there..( quite a few years) So much high rise now.

ES tomorrow we go to Haighs chocolates for a tour and a buy up for DD. we also plan to go up and spend some time in the hills, looking round. DH was based at Woodside. Of course we are busy on Saturday.  :)
I left the iPad at home this afternoon so I don't have any photos of the ocean etc at Glenelg.

I have one Gert. I inherited it from DD but my contract doesn't have any email time so I keep it switched off.
Here is the only photo for today. They were in the park before we went out and are so cute.

You,can still take a photo  and when you have  wifi you can send  stuff.

I am waiting for my first bill to see just how much  I can send/ receive  for 1 GByte  included in my plan. But I have it restricted  to wi fi only for now.

Anyway beggers  can't be choosers and we are so enjoying your trip. I hope the return is as smooth as the  the getting there.

Gert, I have a 1 GByte allowance on my iphone, this month I have only used 23% that included thethering my ipad to my iphone, while i was away, I read the forum on my phone and other stuff most days at work. I was quite surprised how little I had used when I checked online earlier today.

I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

That is good to know Jen thanks.

I have a 12 GB $150.00. One year sim on my iPad. I bought it in Jan, use it all the time when out  and still have.about 90 bucks to spend 10 months later!

It would be cheaper to tether my iPhone to my iPad . Wonder if that is possible?

In any case  I have not had to use my phone for the Internet using 3 or 4G yet

I am getting excited about the rumours of a new mini iPad.

Gert, that's what I do. My iPad is wifi only, so when I want to use my iPad when I'm away from home, I just tether my iPad to my iPhone. I often read the forum on my iPad when my DD is at swimming training. I had a problem when I went to Margaret River as I'd changed my phone provider and they hadn't enabled tethering for me. It was easy to fix as soon as I got home!

What I meant to say ES, and thank you for noting it is that it would be much much cheaper to tether my iPhone to my iPad . Not share if it can work that way or everyone would do it because 12 GB for $150 is pretty cheap with a year to use it.

I will change my post. Silly me.

Today we went to Haighs chocolates for a tour and then a buy up. DD loves it and had given me some money to buy her heaps. We then hunted out and bought parts for DH to repair the tv aerial.

Yours truly buying out Haighs.

It is Hally. At least equal to, or better than Lindt.
