Well it looks like the ideas for my blogging have gone out the window, as I haven’t blogged since Day 3 of our trip (probably not worth reading anyway)!!
So I’m taking a different approach.
Here’s a look at all the campsites we’ve had on our journey. Collection #1 is from Murray Bridge (Day 1) to Alice Springs, in chronological order.
Murray Bridge - not a bad site, but the weather was not pleasant (still freezing cold, and raining the next morning when we were packing to leave)
Port Augusta - this site was known as the "Rose Garden" and apparently was only allocated once the rest of the park was full (quite a few were turned away after we had arrived) so I think we were lucky with this one
Lake Hart Rest Area - Our first roadside stop. Free, so no facilities, but what a view!
Coober Pedy - it must get hot here 'cos they've got sun shade over the top of the caravans!
Erdunuda - nothing special, but certainly not the worst site.
Kings Canyon - lovely views (see the background), but they come at a (considerable) cost!
Ayers Rock - again, nothing special but satisfactory for our needs.
Alice Springs - the campsite was OK, but Alice Springs itself did nothing for me. I was glad to be on our way heading north again.
Congratulations Rohan best information to date,
If this is blogging its my first time – loved looking at all the pictures.
I want to win the special prize for the no of photos taken – i guess 3050
Is John travelling with you? – or is he too busy taking pictures to participate in “blogging”!!!
Obviously if Bill has seen any photos with Rohan and Emma in it then I wonder who took the photos. I seem to be either driving (some one up the wall) or the car, taking photos and some video that only leaves a little time for rehydration (4x) some showers and sleeping. The camera is certainly getting a good workout as is the plastic. The water over here certainly is not suitable for drinking, showering or washing as most of it is bore water. There are plenty of free camping spots up here but they do not have showers and the toilets are not of the FLUSHING type and holding your breath is part of the skill in using these, but this improved our breathing ability especially for snorkeling.
