Day 5 – Tuesday 17th July – 763 Km – Port Lincoln to Adelaide
Whyalla, second largest city in SA, has an amazing collection of signage and fonts on shops and pubs. I couldn’t work out if they were conserved for heritage reasons or had just never been repainted.
A small sample:
Spencer Hotel – a [...]
Day 5 – Tuesday 17th July – 763 Km – Port Lincoln to Adelaide
Every 2nd Tuesday, at 9am WA time, I have a Skype call with Atomic Learning in the US. On this occasion I was half way up the Eyre Peninsula at Arno Bay so I thought I’d give it a go. Why [...]

Someone told me it only works [...]
Day 2 – Saturday 14th July – 1050 Km – Southern Cross to Eucla.

A big bucket taking up both lanes.
A plane taxiing round [...]
Day 1 – Friday 13th July – 422 Km
We left after lunch and made it to Southern Cross the first night. Most of the road follows the Golden Pipeline Trail which I’ve been reading about recently. It follows C.Y O’ Connor’s legendary water pipeline from Perth to Kalgoorlie and much of it it is along [...]
At last I’ve got organised to post to the blog. We left home on 13th July (despite being Black Friday) and are now in Melbourne, 4250km later. I made the mistake of choosing a time based plan at NextG Bigpond and that doesn’t allow for the browsing around and cutting and pasting that you need [...]
