... later) then packing up to leave early the next day, I covered the 3500ks to Perth in 4½ days which was tiring and at times monotonous, I was quite fed up with my own company by the time I arrived home.

From Mount Gambier I followed the coastal road towards Adelaide, this I think in retrospect, was not the best option as it was slower and not very pretty, passing through flat fairly featureless landscape on the land side and on the seaward side much of ...

... well let's just say they had plenty of fodder for a few hours at the least.
Kate and I started chatting and i discovered that Kate is a few of my favorite friends rolled into one. so nice to have a reminder of home on the road. Just kidding she is really her own person but reminded me so much of some close friends. Ruby and Maya are their two little girls and they have one on the way. I said oh well we'll catch up with you later and then ...

Was fantastic to catch up with Richo and Molly and Rory - Lucy has been glued to Molly's die since we got here. Had a beautiful dinner at the pub (Schnitzel night!) and met some fellow caravaners who were staying at the actual caravan park. They didnt even mind all the noise Charlie was making with Woody and Jess. Charlie was actually VERY well behaved - I think he is in holiday mode already and just ...

... from the bushes accompanied by some clicking... the roos! IT sounded like someone shouting with a sponge stuck in their throat. Comedy.
Unfortunately the weather closed in for our next day and we made a poorly timed attempt to ride to a walk up Frenchmans peak. Well, we got sprayed in Southern Ocean mist but were lucky enough to get a clearing in the gloom for fabulous coastal views through the giant rocky window at the top of the peak ...

... my family fix. Surprise surprise - nothing had been caught. He was getting a few nibbles but the blokes next to him were picking up crabs (!) which would have gone great on the Cobb Oven (Paul). I was being eaten alive so I headed back to the caravan park and left Aaron with his new mate (kid about 10 years old) to fish until sunset. Kirsty's Version: So there I was watching the amazing African-like sunset when the mozzies came. Just a few at ...

... me earlier by mentioning the maze to the kids, they are keen as mustard to visit, however, it becomes clear when we arrive that he has no idea that it costs money to enter one. He is a bit miffed at this as he has not budgeted for this outlay, so to save costs (and because he is not interested) he pays for me to accompany the kids while he visits the "Magpie and Stump" for a quiet ale and a chat to anyone within earshot. The kids and I have a ball at the maze; an ...

... family recommended it too us ( the Barnards the family we woofed)they said it had lovely beaches and it did the only problem that it was bloody cold to go any where near the beach never mind the sea.Robe was an old quiet fishing port here we walked on the cliffs and took in the scenery also had the first taste of Aussie fish and chips .The chips were'nt up to much but fish was bootiful .

... preoccupied with crawling around on our faces and being irritating beyond belief! A couple of hours later - the mass cook-up had broken up the day's driving nicely - we were back on the road, having reached greener terrain, and many vinyards and orange trees (we drove past the Big Orange). This was in contrast to the earlier terrain surrounding ...

... in comparison). Cadbury is made in Australia, so I am trying more types of Cadbury chocolate than I knew existed. I know I am going to be bringing a lot home with me. We live on 10 acres of land that have citrus trees. I helped Kevin (my host) pick Valencia oranges this afternoon from the backyard. We made freshly squeezed juice. That was new. I have never picked oranges or made juice that fresh. Valencia season is just finishing up, and navel orange ...

... to working with them this summer. Please pray that God will move this summer as Kevin (my host and supervisor) is planting new churches. Australians are very relational people. Pray that God opens opportunities for us to build relationships and to share our testimonies of faith. Australian lingo for the day: Mackies is McDonalds.
