Day 2 Adelaide to Lake Hart


At about 10.00am we left Paradise in Adelaide after a lovely catch with our Adelaide Shores friends the Lawrie’s and the Clarke’s.  Thanks to Shane and Tricia for their awesome hospitality and putting us up for the night. What a fantastic way to start our Australia Adventure.

 Today we are heading to Lake Hart in SA for our first free camping experience! Originally we were planning on staying at Port Augusta, but were encouraged to bypass this town, altering our destination to the beautiful location of Lake Hart. Port Augusta ended up being our lunch stop and a quick stop at the Toyota services department to fix our 220 volt plug for our fridge which kept losing power and it was very important to keep the drinks cold!


 Upon arrival at Lake Hart (about a 6 hour drive), we knew we had made the right decision, what a beautiful view and place to camp for the night. Free camping did have its challenges for us novices, especially for poor Riley who had a bad stomach so we had lots of experience digging holes!!!! We had dinner by our open camp fire and enjoyed the view of the stars. While playing a card in the van, Vin went to check on our fire and noticed a burning camp chair (oops!). It was a rather cool night
