Best Western Ceduna Foreshore Htl Mtl

Rained early but soon cleared - which made it a good day. Most of the time we had tail and cross winds, which was great for motivating the group to roll along at a reasonable speed. I took up the role of leading out, breaking the wind for the group and thus keeping the tempo up. I quite enjoyed this, as it mean't I didn't have to concentrate on someones wheel in front of me and could see the road ...

Hi Everyone After leaving Southern Cross we ventured on to Coolgardie, we refueled there and the price of diesel was $1.23 per litre.The KIA is going like a beast possessed averaging out at around 15.6 LT per 100 K's.We are attracting people like bees to a honey pot,with comments like (didn't think you could tow a van like that with THAT car ) people are so uneducated ( DUMB). We stayed at a roadside stop 80K'S east of ...

Awaking in Port Augusta we began the process of mental and physical preparation for our desert ordeal by nipping to the supermarket to get essential supplies for Doris, including engine oil, radiator coolant and sparkling grapefruit flavoured water (okay, the water was for me). We were fortunate enough to meet a very helpful shop assistant in the Caltex garage who managed to interpret the gibberish they write in these car user manuals and chose for us ...

Day 56-57 Ceduna Sunday Jan 25th - Monday Jan 26th 2009 It began as an average day and turned into a 'shocking' day.... We arrived in Ceduna early after another short drive - nothing new as we are really snail trailing it around the Eyre Peninsula, only this time we had hang-over's and Greg's was causing him a little grief. The kids were niggling at each other as we drove into the site and as we began to unpack and set up they were hanging ...

Left the trip along the flinders ranges and drove straight across the eyre peninsula past Iron Knob, (a hill of iron ore) Kimba, Baird Bay and Port Labatt sealion beach. We arrived at our beachside campsite on 23rd Dec for 10 nts until 2nd Jan 09. We had a happy time at this place, paid for a hotel christmas dinner on christmas day and met lots of people (mainly from ...

Day 2 of crossing the Nullarbor was far more pleasant as we enjoyed a tail wind that allowed us to whistle along at 100km/hr. There was actually a lot to see, as we climbed the amazing Delisser Sandhills near Eucla and found the remains of an old telegraph station that was built in 1877, helping to link WA with the rest of the nation. Eucla had to be re-located as the dunes are ever moving inland. We also got our first glimpse of the Great Australian Bight and the Bunda Cliffs that mark ...

19-11-08: Vandaag dus een start gemaakt met de Eyre Highway, ik ben gestopt bij een BP Roadhouse in Balladonia. Voor 9 dollar kon je daar kamperen en dus even douchen. 20-11-08: Vanochtend eerst even in het museum gekeken wat bij het roadhouse was. In 1979 is hier namelijk een satelliet neergestort, een SkyLab ding uit de USA. In het museum hebben ze nog een flink stuk liggen van het geval en een hoop krantenknipsels en dergelijke over de ...

Went off roading to Baird Bay which included having to drive along the beach where Chris donned yet another wet suit in another attempt at swimming with Dolphins. This time with success! Only one small boat & only one customer today - me! The bay is shallow and within 15 mins of the beach I was swimming with Sealions to start with then Dolphins - about a dozen of them came and made ...

It is now 5 days since we last stayed in a campsite with any facilities at all, so have decided to treat ourselves to a night in a proper caravan park where there are showers and toilets! It seems a bit of a luxury after the past few days! It also gives us a chance to fill up our water containers as we've been living off our own reserves since Mt Remarkable and there won't be any for the next week or so either. The plan from ...

We have now made it across to the western side of the Eyre Peninsular and have stopped at a beautiful litle park right on the coast just South of a town called Ceduna. There's a lovely, long sandy beach and then a peninsular with cliffs leading down to little, rocky coves. The camping area is on top of the peninsular and there are some amazing views from here down the coast. Unfortunately, it's a ...
