AWOL Around Australia… Across The Bight, The Long Way. Part 1.

February 19, 2019

Just following our noses… A few sandy sections around the back of the salt lake, in front of the sand dunes. However as I’m lazy I just hit them with a bit more momentum rather than let my tyres down further. Then the track headed up into the dunes. Down went the tyres. Getting soft […]

AWOL Around Australia… The Eyre Peninsula. Part 2.

So, we followed the cliff track further north, in the end it just looped back around to the campsite. We pushed on down the bitumen to Coffin Bay.

Anyway, all seems to be sorted now, she responded well to the medication that was prescribed. We always intended to be come home for a bit, I had kind […]

AWOL Around Australia… The Festive Season, and a bit of a hiccup…

A bit of a detour, but we checked out the town of Lakes Entrance the next morning. The town is just another seaside fishing/tourist town, mind you the view of the inlet lakes on the drive in is pretty good. I was keen to get a handle on this warning light issue. I bought […]
