We tried to book Blue for grooming before we arrived in Port Lincoln. The wait list is months long for each of the groomers in town. I tried to book him in at Ceduna but same problem. So today I gave him a haircut using only scissors with close supervision from Tilly, who also gaveContinue reading “Dog Grooming”

I took Bluey with me driving along Whalers Way, 30 minutes from Port Lincoln. This southern tip of the Eyre Penninsular is privately owned. Entry is through a locked gate. The key lock code is provided on payment of $40 per vehicle. One of the co-owners was manning the gate and opened it for meContinue reading “Whalers Way”

We had breakfast at The Rogue &Rascal located in the Civic Hall, now an arts complex. It was warm enough to sit outside with Bluey, who attracted the interest of other diners and passers-by. I tried the Japanese pancake which would have been much nicer with a lot less mayonnaise. Back at the van weContinue reading “Port Lincoln”

Little Leo had an appointment with the vet today to have his snip. To distract his mums we drove to Coffin Bay for lunch at Oyster HQ. There were intermittent periods of rain, but we enjoyed sunshine while we explored part of the coastal Oyster Walk. At the restaurant this low Gabion wall was filledContinue reading “Coffin Bay”

There was light rain when I took Bluey for a walk before we had to leave him in the caravan for a couple of hours. We dropped off the Toyota for its 90,000kms service at 10am and soon discovered L’Anse French Cafe & Croissanterie where we had coffees and pastries. The coffee was good butContinue reading “Toyota Service in Port Lincoln”

When I refuelled at the Tumby Bay Roadhouse, this fella was relaxed because he was with his mum in her shop. Coffee wasn’t brilliant but on a Sunday morning in Tumby Bay the options were limited. On the drive back to the caravan park I found three of the town’s impressive murals. On our driveContinue reading “Tumby Bay to Port Lincoln”

Bluey vomited on our bed at 2am so we lost sleep having to clean it up. He had earlier whimpered so I let him out of his crate and put him on the bed. In the dark I could tell he had been sick in his crate, so thought he would be alright coming ontoContinue reading “Elliston to Tumby Bay”

After breakfast it was easy to pack up as we hadn’t unhooked or connected to power or water. We made a donation for use of the free camp then drove to Eileen’s in Kimba for drinkable coffee. It was not so cold there and we had brief periods of sunshine during our drive to Elliston.Continue reading “Kimba to Elliston”

We had a fairly long drive today from Nuriootpa to Kimba – 445kms travelling NNE to Port Augusta, then SW to Kimba. The sunset last night was followed by fog this morning. We stocked up with coffee and food from Linke’s Bakery in Nuriootpa. Some of the roads were rough but at least we managedContinue reading “Nuriootpa to Kimba”

That is not a typo – fermentAsian is a fabulous gourmet Asian restaurant in Tanunda, a 10 minute drive from Nuriootpa. Four of us shared the set menu of three entrees, three mains, and four individual desserts. I thought each dish was wonderful except for one of the desserts. The others shared a couple ofContinue reading “fermentAsian”
