Today is our first day of travel with our Great Divide Tours group, the start of our CSR adventure.

A day of R&R.

In the outback you often come across a weird sight - a line of people (usually women) standing in line all carrying a large bag that often resembles a garbage bag, juggling a little bag of gold coins.

It’s raining.

We have survived our first week on the road and haven't killed each other yet!

Nearly at Yulara. This will be our third visit here. It's also Timothy's birthday today. Our first visit must have been 23 years and 9 months ago!

What we’ve learned so far.

Day 6

Coober Pedy - you either love it or you hate it

Another big driving day today to get to Woomera.

Not a big drive today. Took in some of the sights of Mildura on a Paddle Wheeler on the Murray River.

Another travel day today.

The big adventure started today - The Canning & Beyond.

Not long now until we leave. Only 2 days to go. Have we got everything packed?

New tyres for the car today.

Wow, time flies.  Countdown is down to 3 weeks - 19 days to be exact. How much food can you honestly fit into a 40 litre engel?

Time to get serious - its all about the food.

If Covid-19 taught us anything - its don't underestimate toilet paper or the lack of!!!

More stuff for the trip. This time, a water filtration option.

It's never a good idea to try something new for the first time on a remote area trip - whether it be a new piece of equipment or a new menu.  Whilst it is certainly fun to sit back with a glass of wine and watch someone try to put a large mattress into a small tent, it is not so much fun being the person who is trying to put it in.

Planning a nearly 3 month trip takes a lot of work!!!!!

More goodies purchased for our upcoming trip.

So while Michael is busy mapping I am hunting for things to do along the way!!!!

Recent purchase and Christmas gifts of some goodies for the big trip. Only 5 months away now.
