Mt Dare, Finke & Chambers Pillar
Thursday 19th - We heard dingoes howling several times through the night. Well it was a hard decision but we decided to keep moving, so many wonderful things still to see and experience. Our neighbours wanted a show and tell on the camper and wanted to see how quick it all packed up, we are … Continue reading Mt Dare, Finke & Chambers Pillar
SA – 3 O’clock Creek
3 O'clock Creek – OR, $, DW, W. 13kms up the Mt Dare road from Dalhousie. From a camping point of view better than Dalhousie but of course it doesn't have the springs or toilets.

Oodnadatta Track – Day 4
Mon 16th - Was a great camp spot literally in the middle of nowhere. We had a leisurely start this morning, wiping dust from seals, putting tape over locks as the dust is making some hard to open. The back door of the ute is letting dust in (due to the attempted break in) so … Continue reading Oodnadatta Track – Day 4
