A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY.................. Australia? The World? .... even our own back yard. Wherever we go we have a great time - first class hotels or in a van - travel and exploration are fun. Family and friends will be updated on our travels and adventures and with any luck they will be able to find us. (and with even greater luck for them they can avoid and ignore us)

Saturday - and we are in Port Augusta.
Ready to go.
Darn - rain!
Driving through the Hunter
Wattle lines the roads
We drove from Broken Hill to Port Augusta today. It was a really pleasant drive and the countryside is amazingly green after all of the rains. We just ambled along and stopped from time to time to take a few pics and have a cup of coffee. It is easy to underestimate the beauty of the tiny roadside flowers and it is not until you stop that you see them in their full glory. Although it was getting late we managed to get lunch in The Royal Hotel in Peterborough. The owners have spent a lot of money on renovating this beautiful old building - I only hope the tourist dollars are there to repay their invstment.Beside the van tonight there is a beautiful flowering gum but the light disappeared this afternoon before I could get a decent photo. Hopefully the morning sun will be in the right position. Today's discovery - if you park under a tree you cannot raise the TV antenna. Now that's a surprise!
