Back and heading off again!
Permalink  

Hi fellow Grey Nomaders!
I am back from NZ, had a WONDERFUL time with my Grandson, but am ready for the road again. I am heading up from Naracoorte to ??? Mt Pirie, Port Augusta areas then up to Alice Springs. Probably will take 2-3 weeks to get there, depending how much I get sidetracked!
Will post again as I go hopefully, depending on internet availability!
Woooooo hoooooooooo!!!!!!

I seem to always get the place names wrong!! But don't panic, doesn't look like I'm heading your way!
I stayed in Willalooka last night, (departure delayed because of a dead house battery), am in Keith library typing this, heading for Mannum tonight, then Port Augusta!
Ahhhhhh, to be on the journey again!! Eat my dust!!

Dont worry Dave, we all got it. I think Bubs is a bit verticaly challenged (short), so maybe you could lend your soapbox, so it does not go over her head.

Gee that bypass around Pirie is doing wonders for the tourist traffic, seems it does not exist anymore.

I was wondering how you were going to get to port augusta without going past Pirie, the only other way is up through laura and across the germein gorge or through quorn and back through Pichi Richi pass, which by the way is a very pleasant way to go!!!
