Places and thing s we have been doing in April 2014

Hi again, Places and thing s we have been doing in April 2014

Lee flew back to Perth (not on her broom) she had to have some tests done and see the grand-kids, she had to have more test in Adelaide and they were OK next tests in 6 months.

I stayed with Bob in Cranbourne and help him with some odd jobs around the property. We took a few days to pack up, then we were on the road again.

Our first stop was one of our favourites, Laanecoorie free camp, (a beautiful spot on the Loddon river), where we stayed for 4 days. Our friends Maree & Ron were there, with the wine chilled. Our next stop was at Hopetoun, at Lake Lacselles free camp on the lake. We had a bit of rain and ended up staying a week.. the camp has good amenities with hot showers and town water. We met a very interesting young man called Chris and his pet dog

Fido. Chris made us some scones for morning tea, Fido liked to come and visit. On the road again, stopping at Murrayville for 1 night (good spot only $10 Powered site), then on to Renmark where we met up with Gail & Keith, good friends from Perth. After a few nights we moved onto Gawler and stayed 1 week. While in Gawler we caught the train into Adelaide (free with our seniors card) and had a good look around. We went out to the whispering wall, which is just outside town, it was amazing and should be a must do for an visitor to Gawler.

Had 5 days left on a travel auction at Mannum so headed down that way. The caravan park is on the river, and it is great to see the river boats going up and down. The Murray Princess is a sight to see. The bird life is abundant, we even had 2 black swans near our door. From here we will go to Port Broughton, on the Yorke Peninsula, where we will have 5 days, before heading up towards Port Augusta then onto Coober Pedy, and Alice (plus all in between). Jim has had Shingles, on his right arm, and has visited the docs a couple of times. Hopefully this new medication will work.

So now it is full steam ahead and on with our travels.  

That's all for now folks be safe Jim and Lee
