A loaf of bread for New Years

And here's what's lovely about adventuring around Australia.

This loaf of fresh-baked bread was delivered to our motorhome doorstep last night about 10pm by a lovely old man, Leon, I met over the exceptionally good oven in the camp kitchen.

We only spoke for about 60 seconds as I took a roast out of the oven and he prepared to put his bread in, and bonded over our excitement at having a good oven to actually bake in.

And then 3 hours later, he turned up with a warm loaf of bread for us all to enjoy. What a generous and kind start 2015!

Things I've learnt along the way.....

6) Don't look at the price of petrol in remote places, it will only add worry to your day. Best just to fill up when you need to and paywave the worry away.
5) Grass camping sites are worth extra money, time and effort. Sticky red dirt is my enemy.
4) WikiCamps - the best money I have ever spent on an app - do not leave home without it
3) Spraying insect repellent in the door of the motorhome will set off the smoke alarm which will scream ridiculously loudly for 2 minutes.
2) When you pay $4 or $5 per load of washing the concept of mixed load applies - there is no more separating of towels from sheets from lights from darks.
1) A rest stop marked in the Camps book as suitable for overnight stays is usually NOT suitable for overnight stays unless you enjoy sleeping 10 metres from a road.
