16/09/2016 Happy Birthday Caitlyn.

14/09/2018 Yesterday we popped in to visit the Colbert family, we were only going to stay the one night but ended up staying for two. It was good to catch up with them all again. Col Hirning called us when we were at Uluru letting us know that he would be in town and was […]

09/09/2018 Today we arrived in Coober Pedy. As we drove in to town we weren’t very impressed as there just seemed to be piles of dirt everywhere,  no signs of grass, and old vehicle wrecks and scrap metal left seemingly where it stopped working. We later learnt that the piles of dirt are all from Opal […]

08/09/2018 Today we have visited the Geographical centre of Australia, we left Mia at Kulgera which is on the Stuart Highway and headed west for approximately 190km to Lambert Centre which has been calculated as the true centre of Mainland Australia. When we arrived, we were the only people here it was pretty special. To […]

Suffice to say we are a little gorged out for the moment. Each location has its own […]

27/08/2018 We have restocked our supplies, got Franks exhaust gasket fixed, and leaving Alice headed for the West MacDonnell Ranges, the distance around the loop is approximately 400kms return, we will see how we go as Mia’s fuel capacity is between 400 – 440, depending on how we drive wind etc. There is fuel out […]
