We visited the wonderful Flinders Ranges and had a few days enjoying greenery after brown Coober Pedy. There were Emus everywhere:
Here is Nic at the Hill's Homestead. Jessie Hill lived here with her parents for about 20 years before they gave up farming as there was either drought or flood.
A view of the Pound; a circle of mountains with a huge flat area in the middle. This is where the Homestead is.
There was a huge storm one evening and lots of the towns on the Yorke Peninsula lost power. We stayed on the coast and it was exciting watching the lightning and hearing the thunder. The next day we found this huge spider on the inside of the van door, it must have come in to escape the storm. I'm glad it didn't go any further and decide to get in bed with us!
We arrived in Adelaide the day after the cricket test match ended and we'd thrashed the Aussies. We went into town and met 3 of the English supporters in a bar and it was nice to chat with some fellow Poms.
The next day we walked miles to see some of the Adelaide sights; we went to an Aboriginal art gallery, we had a look at the Oval, we strolled beside the river and we went around the huge food market. Adelaide is a lovely city and the suburbs are so pretty. They've had record levels of rain here this year after 8 years of drought so everything looks green and the blossom trees are in full bloom.

Hi there, mo and dale here!...long time no catch up!!, just remembering very happy times this time last year when we were all in christchurch. Wow what you have been up to since!, soooooo envious but settling into the welsh valley's just fine (dont like this cold weather though), both got work and saving our pennies for the Australian tour.

I think the most appropriate comment to leave is FUCK ME THAT'S ONE MOTHERFFFUCKING BIG SPIDER.
I knew there was at least one reason I didn't want to leave West Lancashire
