We're not far from home now. Robert drove from Coober Pedy to Port Broughton today which was a pretty good effort. He won't let me tow the van and he likes driving. We had a few stops - he had a quick power nap at Pimba.
It's great to be able to listen to local ABC radio again (although we switch to Radio National when Ian Henshke's on). I bought "The Advertiser" at Port Augusta and it was today's issue - most other places are a day late.
We thought we'd check out Port Broughton for future holidays. It's quite a bit place compared to Port Vincent. A couple of pubs, some restaurants, supermarket, nice beach, jetty and a lovely caravan park right on the foreshore.
Nice meals at the pub.
It's been a great trip and we both thought that the Cooinda experience in Kakadu was the best part of the trip. Robert's worst part was the scrap metal merchant at Darwin working until 10:00 p.m. one night. My dislikes - the biting beasties.
I'm looking forward to catching up with family and friends - I know Mum and Dad will be waiting at home when we get there. Big family get together on Sunday.
For those of you who have followed the blog - I hope it's been interesting and thank you for taking time to read it. I've tried to "paint a picture" of where we've been and what we've seen.
Not sure if we're doing a bit trip next year but when we do, there'll be another blog.
Catchya
