Greetings Alex now 9 is having a ball at Melrose SA mountain biking up Mt Remarkable and DOWN. We attempted Oodnadatta track past Ochre Pits and then another 5km os so when BB had Kittens and turned back. the track was very rutted and water on the side of the track. with more rain on the horizon he was just not willing to take the chance. I am very sad as always i have desired to drive this but on the other hand we have had the opportunity to see more of the Flinders and Mt Remarkable. Stayed at parachilna at the Prarie Hotel and had the best night with ëating Feral Road Kill platter. Emu pate, camel sausage and the like. Quongdong pie for desert.. yummo. There was live music and the kids had a ball except for the flies. Parachilna Gorge was beautiful and thanks to the Mellors for the suggestion to go there. Could Sally please thank them for us.
We went on the Pitchi Ritchi railway in Quorn and now we are riding and wine tasting at Melrose.
Tomorrow we head the other way to Coober Pedy via Woomera and will be there by Friday. Some outback bush camping on the way. Winny is having a few problems the fridge only working off gas not power and the loo is leaking..... thank goodness clean water not dirty. But we have had some freezing nights so the heater has been well used as we all have had night time coughs.
Signing off
