We packed up and headed south, stopping for a quick pit stop at 'The Ranges' before getting back in the car and driving to Port Augusta for a fuel stop. From there we headed towards Adelaide, detouring into the Clare Valley so Clare could have her photo taken next to the town sign.
While we were there we had a bite for lunch. It is a really pretty town and with so many wineries around we promised ourselves to make the trip back up again without the kids so we can spend some time in the wineries.
Back in the car and we pressed on to Adelaide, refuelled again while it was cheap, hopefully last time for this trip, and then drive to Tintinara, 100 k's from the border with Vic. Gee whiz its bloody cold down here, 7.4 degrees at 8:25 pm, you have got to be kidding.
This will probably be our last post this trip, tomorrow we hope to get to Bannockburn, where we have left the dog, where we may or may not spend the night with my mate before heading home the next day.
We just clocked over 15000 k today, $5621 Fuel and $2807 Accomodation for 84 nights.
Thank you for reading these posts, I hope you have gained some insight into our trip.
Now what are you waiting for, get out and see this magnificent country of ours for yourself while you still can.
