BALLADONIA, ECULA, CEDUNA, PORT LINCOLN

Well the trip has well and truly started. Has been hot but bareble. We decided to push on from esperance to balladonia instead of norseman due to the heat. We wanted to break up the next day. So we stayed at balladonia road house / caravan site which was fine. A kangaroo was very friendly and came up for a pat. Ashton loved that. We also met another family heading back to WA so their kids played with ours. Pushed on early in the morning to eucla. Another long day.

So Arrived in eucla around 2pm and that was at a road house. plenty of other campers there and a pool which was a much needed cool off. Met another albany family there that were actually heading home after doing a 4 mnth trip similar to what we are doing so got some tips from there.

We then arrived late arvo in ceduna. Sml town with nice beaches. Stayed at Shelley beach. What a lovely beach that was for the kids. Had fish n chips from a chicken and seafood place so ate that down by the beach where the kids went for a swim. Slept in a bit after a restless night with ash so left ceduna about 9am.

Looked like port augusta was going to be a stinker so changed our plans and headed for the cooler port lincoln. This is a very nice town and a good size from what we have seen. The caravan place we are staying at is really nice and right on the water. So going to stay here two night and do a long trip Saturday to Adelaide for two nights. Kids are coping well with the heat though.
First main problem has arisen and that is our inside lights in the van arent working. No idea how to fix this. might have to get someone to look at it tomorrow.

Well will update again in a few days in adelaide.
