Cape Jervis

We were late getting going this morning and didn't leave the caravan park until after 10am. Google maps estimated the drive time to Cape Jervis as 1 hour 4 minutes, but it took us a lot longer. The roads were winding with many slow bends. We had a couple of stops to stretch our legs. Our caravan brakes performed well and we grateful they had been repaired coming down some of the hills.

The Cape Jervis caravan park is nothing special even though it is a Big 4 park. The toilets and showers are below the standard we would expect at a Big 4. They have some old buildings upgraded as B&B accommodation, and that would be the profitable side of the business. 

We are parked with the other Roadies catching the ferry to Kangaroo Island tomorrow. We can see the island but only just through the haze. It was great to catch up with other friends, but we abandoned sundowners because it was too cold in the wind and occasional shower. 



I rode my scooter the 3.5kms down to the ferry terminal to check it out. The wind was behind me on the way down, but against me on the return uphill when I thought I would run out of battery power - luckily that didn't happen.


Tilly hid under a dog bed after coming in from the cold. She found herself a Roadie who is not keen on cats and did her best to win him over, intently smooching and purring. Blue got jealous and he and Tilly had a long wrestling match on the floor - Tilly can always escape but chooses to lie on her back so she can kick his head with her strong back legs if he gets too rough.

Aussie Road Crew - Finished

Image
After our final dinner and concert some Roadies were continuing their celebrations near our Bushtracker. We could hear the noise even though all windows were shut and the van is normally soundproof. As it was after 10pm I ventured out to negotiate with them. While one person accused me of being the fun police, other Roadies supported my suggestion they turn off the amplified music and keep the noise down. The general expectation in caravan parks is noise stops after 10pm. There were non Roadies trying to sleep in tents, and I suggested their activities would reflect badly on Aussie Road Crew and Beccy who might not be able to return to this park on future tours. Fortunately there was very little noise after my visit. We drove out of the Crows Nest Tourist Park just after 7am looking for a MacDonald's in Toowoomba for coffee and brekkie. Instead we spotted Valetta Cafe in time to park the van across the road. I bought a take away brioche egg and bacon roll and coffees. The cafe is i...

Around Chinchilla

Image
The Condamine River is flowing over the Chinchilla Weir 5kms out of town. It has reached the 6m mark on the gauge and is an impressive sight. It is forecast to reach 8m by Tuesday in two days time. Chinchilla has suffered several floods when Charley's Creek rises. This is the post office in the 2010-2011 flood and as it was today. On 28 December 2010 the water level at Chinchilla Weir topped 15m. Despite this history of repeated flooding Chinchilla appears to be a prosperous town with many community facilities such as a water park, 700 seat cultural centre, and major road improvements. Many of the out of town workers are employed by QCG, a Shell company "producing" natural gas in the Surat Basin - presumably this means collecting the gas by fracking. Just down the road there is accommodation for 1,000 workers in Stayover so the town is benefiting from the presence of this large workforce. Tilly finally slept through the night. Today I kept her outside as much as possible ...

Broken Hill to Burra

Image
We left Broken Hill about 8am for our drive to Burra. Our first stop was at Mannahill. We followed this load of sheep as we dawdled through roadworks. On a recommendation from friends we explored Terowie, an historic town that is almost abandoned. The town grew late in the nineteenth century as a transhipment point from broad gauge rail to narrow gauge. In the 1970s the line to Peterborough was converted to broad gauge and Terowie became a near ghost town. Several abandoned shops are now owned by the South Australian Government. Unfortunately there is a risk associated with asbestos being blown around the town. The population fell from about 2000 to 130. In 1942 General Macarthur passed through Terowie on his way to Adelaide and Melbourne. He made a public speech at the railway station famously asserting "I came out of Bataan [in the Phillipines] and I shall return". A plaque marks the location at the rem...
