The past two weeks have been very busy and lots of fun. At Streaky Bay we met up with our friends Carole and Ross McGregor who had travelled across from Great Western and surprised us because they were in a new (to them) A-Van. Our dirty, damaged van looked a bit second rate next to their shiny one, but they didn't seem to mind travelling with us. We had a lovely week exploring the West and East coasts of the Eyre Peninsula - we have been there before and enjoyed sharing the many delights with similar minded friends. We walked, talked, rode bikes, rambled on beaches, laughed a lot, played cards, delighted in the bird and plant life, and generally had a good time.

We parted company with the McGregors at Cowell and had a night at Spear Creek Station, a sheep station at the foot of the Flinders Ranges, not far from Port Augusta. It was a lovely place and we look forward to staying there again. From there it was into the much loved Flinders Ranges, staying at Rawnsley Park Station. The Huddart family arrived the next day, closely followed by Geoff and Tricia. It was so lovely catching up with everyone again. Our grand children are just delightful and bring us much joy. We hiked, climbed, rode bikes, played games, cooked marshmallows on the campfire, read books - all good fun. Geoff and Tricia returned to Adelaide after three days and the rest of us moved on to Trezona Campground, off Brachina Gorge Road for the children's first experience of bush camping. For two days they revelled in the freedom and the wide open spaces, although some concerns were expressed about the drop(pit) toilets. We have decided that after nearly five months away it is time to head home. What a trip it has been!
