We left Robe reasonable early and headed back to Wellington
then down through Tailem Bend, Meningie and Mt Gambier then onto Nelson and
Prichard’s. This was a bugger of a trip (again) as we ran into wind, rain and
hail again. We kept moving so no photos but as we approached Nelson the weather
improved and by the time we reached Prichard’s it was warm and clear, but late.

We set up camp lit the fire and relaxed. Both our vans have 12v so we had no
probs with lights etc and the fire and gas kept the hot water up. As I
mentioned earlier this was a bit of a trial to see how we could cope in the
free camp environment. Gaz and I are pretty used to it as we camp here
regularly and I’m happy to report that after 2 nights it was a resounding
success so look out. The shower proved to be a success and in fact better than
some of the van parks we have stayed in. Prichard’s has a plethora of wild like
which roam in and out of the camp constantly. Kookaburra’s, kangaroos, blue and
jenny wrens, finches etc etc. These provided endless enjoyment and interest to
us not only because they seem untroubled by us but there antics around us. The
only down side I can see is there are probably people who will take advantage
of this to do them harm. Our 2 nights here have been relaxing and rewarding and
as we pack to head home I will be sad to wake up without them around. Gaz and I
always enjoy our time here and I am pretty sure Di and Shaz have as well. Ah
well back to reality for a while. Di and I will be home for a day then off to
Perth which is a combination of work and holiday for me and hopefully R&R
for Di. It has been another great trip for the Tagalong Tours group – not long
enough as per normal – but planning is well underway for our next sojourn. D&D
