Sunday 25th Oct Day1
We left home around 7am..trying to beat the nornal weekend traffic...heading down the Coorong to Narrung Campground..found a spot and set up....but the wind didnt let up...first thing we noticed was the new toilet block with walk ramps.....another was a new building next to the lighthouse
Monday 26th Day2
Still windy...lot of the campers left early...trying to find a sunny spot out of the wind was hard as it changed directions frequently ...no campfires here
Tuesday 27th Day3
We have had enough of the wind.packed up and head down to Meningie then accross to Coonalpyn then to Tintinara got fuel then headed from Keith to Pathaway to Cockatoo Lake...last time we visited there the lake was full....on arrival the main gate was closed with a sign stating "due to fire management please use other gate" so we went up the road around the lake to other entrence then down a bush track...only to have to navigate ruts and deep holes......over dry creek beds...finally to the main area...only to find most of the Lake empty.....set up...near a concrete fire pit.
Wednesday 28th Day4
Chatting to neighbours...we discovered we were next to them camping by River at Swan Reach week earlier...put together our smokey joe weber so Rosie could cook meals using heat beads saving gas..I worked on an idea if I put the hot heat beads in an old cake tin with holes and bring it above the tent pegs that hold the campoven..we could cook breakfast on the spinners lid....worked well ...a ute with a wedge top camper turned up late and chatted with us..
Thursday 29th Day5
Been hot last few days....today is no exception ...last couple days there been a young magpie hanging around us up close...got in lot of trouble with other magpies...but still hang around...Avan turned up late...

Sunday 1st Nov Day8
We packed up early and were on the road......headed home....got wet in places...but got home safely....I changed the setting on our HEMA6 from easy to short.......and it got us home without too much arguments this time....always says to go through Crafers ...but we go through Strathalbyn and it insists we turn right at every corner to go back......not this time...
Depending on the weather we might head south again this week..only home cause Rosie was asked to work at her old place she worked where she retired from 2 years ago...on Tuesday ...Melbourne Cup day
