We left Quorn and headed down to the big smoke of Port Augusta where the excitement for the day was finding a carwash that would fit both car and caravan. The pressure hose was a God send getting the red dust off everything and John was a very happy little chappy heading off down through Iron Knob - depressing, they closed the mine about 8 years ago and everyone left town so every business is clos...

Memories
I read this comment with fond memories. "As you drive along you try to imagine how people did this drive when it was a dirt road. It goes on forever when you are doing 90KPH, how long must it have been on dirt?". My memory was back in 1967 when a mate of mine and my goodself drove to Perth from Sydney in a VW Beetle. The Nullabor Highway was 600 miles of bulldust and they had had a lot of rain, the road at many places was impassable with bogged semi trailers everywhere. I think I have some photos somewhere that I can share with you down the track. The names of several places you have visited stirs the memory bank. We drove straight to Perth and came back via the coastline. Esperance and Albany where beautiful stopovers. One memory were the Karri tree forests on the western coast and I recall climbing one to the top via a circular staircase. I will continue to read your blogs with interest, its almost 50 years since I visited. Safe travelling

Happy travels
Hi John &Jo. Your travel news is very intersting. We have been to many of the spots you have been talking about but we haven't seen any of the southern coast of WA. The weather will probably bit a bit ordinary until you get further north but am envious of you all the same. We won't be going far this year - very busy with golf & building a house, but hopefully we'll get back into it next year. Unfortunately our usually beautiful autumn weather was very limited this year but hope you enjoyed SA all the same. Safe travels Jan
