Today I covered yet another 300 plus miles and we made our stop at Nundroo yet another fuel stop area with a small camp site at the rear a petrol station by the road side and as usual a pub. This place had less going for it than the last and thats saying something, once we had our dinner and a wash we both went to sleep fairly quickly. I am in a way looking forward to getting back to Melbourne but at the same time sorry that the drive is shortly coming to an end in Australia, though I do intend to return one day soon.
   
    The next morning we arose fairly early again and, after a couple of cups of tea we got on the road again. First of all filling the fuel tanks up of course and doing all the other daily routine things like checking the oil and water.
   
    Then we were on our way heading for Port Germein which is a small fishing village just North of Adelaide, which has a very long wooden pier apparently the longest in Australia. We headed for this place because it was probably the last area to fish for James before we get back to Melbourne 443 miles later we got to Port Germein quite late in the afternoon and set up the camp in the only camp site near to the beach, then went out to get some dinner. I have realised it is cheaper to buy food in takeaway than it is to buy and cook it. After we had had dinner we each did our washing and then James went off to do his fishing while I sorted out the car and begin to pack things away which were no longer needed for the drive, plus I needed to send some E-mails to my shipping agents in Melbourne. As the evening drew in there was a breeze which got stronger and stronger until it was a gale and, thats when James returned, empty handed but its not surprising really I can only imagine what the sea must have been like as I was already tucked up in my sleeping bag.

   
    It wasnt exactly a good night to get sleep because the wind was blowing so hard that the tent was almost flattened with every gust until the poles gave way and we had to go outside and make repairs plus fit extra guy lines to the legs as we did in America. By morning the wind had stopped and it was a beautiful sunny day and at around ten we pulled in at a village to buy bacon and bread for our breakfast. We found out later on that there were a lot of bodies found in an old bank vault. The bank had been closed for a number of years and it was a hiding place for a particularly nasty gang of murderers. And on that note we finished our tucker and got back on the road again this time heading for Kingston. We were going to stop in or near to Adelaide but as we approached and then drove through it was apparent there were no decent places to stop for the night so we just headed for the coast and eventually Kingston and, what a brilliant place this town is. The view from the camp site looked right out to sea which was about a hundred yards away from the tent and the sea looked fantastic but the only draw back was the weed which dominated the beach which was about four feet under the weed and it was smelly too.
   
    Next morning we headed for Melbourne and were back at the same camp site by late afternoon which is the very camp site we stayed in the day we collected the car and set off for this fantastic drive Full circle around this vast continent and what a big country it is.
