Old Friends

Dear Family and Friends

I didn't write a caption on the photos so in case you didn't know who was who Photo 1was Sharon, Roman and Nathan. Photo 2 was Sharon, Roman and me. Photo 3 was Snowflake, Photo 5 was Natalya and Lachlan in their cub uniforms and last photo was John landing his twin seater Foxbat at Porepunkah near Bright. John flew up to see us when were staying there for the ten days.

It is Sunday afternoon and we find ourselves staying at a caravan park at Mt Barker. The closer you get to Adelaide the fewer free camp spots you see and the one we did find was very unkept. Lots of graffitti on brick walls nearbye so we decided to give it a miss and stop in a park instead.


We have come from Horsham today. Robin and Pauline, our friends we spent the night of the cyclone with are down visiting Robin brother David who lives at Horsham. It was very nice to see them again. It's nice when you can pick up a friendship again as though you had seen each other just a day ago. We had tea together and chatted for ages. David had said we were welcome to stay the night so we parked near their Motorhome. It was great. It rained quite heavy in the night. Robin had said if it did rain we might have to move the van or we might get bogged in as it got very slippery and boggy pretty quickly. So we left about 8.30 and headed off on the next leg of the journey.

We have had a noticeable change in the temperature. Our first night (Frid) on the road we stopped at a free camp spot just before Aararat and it was nowhere near as
cold as Bairnsdale, so warmer weather so soon was nice.

Tomorrow we are planning to get to Port Hughes. We have decided we will follow the highway through Adelaide so we expect to get there by early to mid afternoon.

That's about it for today

Love to one and all

Ken and Lyn
