Let's See.......... Where Were We?

We camped at stony point for a few days to see the youngest daughter, Letitia, graduate from initial training in the Navy.




I managed to cut my foot open climbing over the van whilst washing it the day before her graduation. The gash required 3 stitches at the local clinic. So much for the new running regime!!



After seeing Letitia's graduation we left for Mildura to find some work. We got to Mildura after camping along the Murray river for a few days and registered at all the job agencies. We quickly found out that the town is dead employment wise as all the Christmas positions had been filled already and other businesses were winding up for Christmas. Mildura is a massive wine producing area and that work starts in Feb Mar. Missed the boat there as well.

So we are making our way to Alice Springs where Tracey has a job waiting and I applied for a job in an industrial supplies shop. Got a phone call back saying they were interested in me and when can I get there? So off we went.

We have just gone through Port Augusta and on the Stuart Highway heading for a camp just out side of Coober Pedy. Good to be back in the outback.
