After a night in a pub sheltering from a storm that had blown in, I awoke the next morning to patchy clouds, but no rain fortunately. Straight onto the road, bound for Adelaide. Tailem Bend, a small town on the…
Day 5 – Grapes and Limestone
I was woken early at the campsite by a group of three wallabies grazing no more than 5 metres from where I slept. Once they’d had their fill and moved on, it was time to pack up and hit the…
