We woke to a lovely day this morning, minimal wind and quite a nice temperature. We really probably should have just enjoyed the day but instead, in usual Broadbent style it was time to squeeze in one more adventure before we head home. So after a short walk through the very tidy town of Port Vincent—the seniors were out at 7.30am cleaning tables in the park, painting swings in the playground—we headed on our way to the Grampians in Victoria. This only adds about 2 hours driving time to our trip home. It was a very long day of driving but the temperatures were to reach 35° in Adelaide so an air conditioned car is quite comfortable. The car was a bit thirsty today, it used a few litres of water, but we managed okay. On the way we had a drive through Hahndorf which was a quaint little town. Next time we will spend a little more time there, but no time to stop today. We arrived at Halls Gap at about 8pm and after a quick dinner headed off to bed to prepare for our early adventure tomorrow.
See you in a few days.

- Found this little fellow in our bed this morning. We were lucky he didn’t attach himself to one of us. Especially the tick magnet in the family. Guess who that is? DB.
