... to live but it really dosnt have too much to entertain a visiter - prob my least favorite city in Aus. Mum and Davo think simillar. We got some sleep and I chatted with my 3 room mates for much of the night, they were all cool and one guy was panicking - down to his last $200 and couldnt get a job - what a nightmare! The next day I sorted out odd jobs. We picked up the campervan and I drove it into the centre so we could sort our ...

... To be able to cook our own meals, wash and iron our clothes and just chill out and relax has been such a treat.  We're tidying the house up now as we pack our rucksacks to start 'backpacking' again.  John and Libby arrive back from their holiday the day after we leave so unfortunately we'll miss them again. We fly out tomorrow on what seems like the long route to New Zealand.  We go... Adelaide - Sydney - Auckland - Christchurch, and should arrive 14 hours after leaving Adelaide!

We do look forward to seeing Melbourne and Sydney but, at least in Melbourne's ...

Early morning walk or laze around the camp ? Because we loved the area so much we opted for a 2 hour return walk into the Wilpena pound then we head off stopping at Hawker to look at Jeff Chambers??.... Panorama artworks . Then onwards through Gawler arriving ...

... take them up to Alice. Neither of them actually drives and Mark casually dismisses this fact saying he'll learn as he goes along - the car's ' automatic ' isn't it - How hard can it be ? That's the attitude I love. Almost a whole day is spent in the dorm room grunting and eating limp slices of delivery pizza. My former dorm mates from Perth - Neil and Andrew, have now moved in here. There's a Japanese chick in the bunk above me and she seems quite comfortable to share the ...

... me the bother by telling me she doesn't need the money after all. What you'd call a ' result '. I cut back on my spending a little and make some visits to the supermarket - which is where you'll find most backpackers in Australia. Lurking around the meat counters, waiting for the ' mark-downs ' at about 5 o'clock. I change my phone's SIM card too and take advantage of a new phone number and some free air time.
