Pt 2 - Day 64 - Streaky Bay

I start the day again with another delightful walk around the bay, I don't think my body is capable of running any more!!!!  Today is a day of preparation for the couple of big days of driving we have ahead to get across the nullabor.  So we do the washing, fill the water tanks, check the gas bottles etc, etc. 

Just before lunch we go into town and walk along the jetty to see what everyone is catching.  We have lunch at the local bakery which is very nice, then we head back to the van for a bit of R and R.  It is warmer today, a top of 27C forecast so good to have some sunny weather.

In the afternoon is spent playing more board games, the kids go for another swim and I do some blogging.  Glen decides that he actually would like to see the NAB cup grand final, so this fills in the remainder of the arvo trying to get the dish to work.  Unfortunately we don't have any luck, but discover we are able to tune into channel seven on normal tv, not such a good reception, but at least we can see the game. We pack up what we can tonight and hook up the car ready for a big day of driving tomorrow.

  1. Have not read your blog for quite a while, seems I hardly have a minute to even scratch myself these days! So I've had a great time catching up on your many adventures on the ipad in the car as we drive back to our house from a weekend away at Preston beach! Not quite the same as your drive back home, haha, but we had a great little break away. Hope you have a good drive across the nullabor. I hear there are certain towns you just don't stop in, so good luck making it through those particular places!. Karen & the boys x
