Day One and Day Two

I'm in Adelaide!!!! 
I will add to the post later when I have time.  I am at my friends' place, Joy and Andrew,  (I was bridesmaid for them 38 years ago - it was their wedding anniversary yesterday).  I have been so tired in the evening after driving that I have not had the energy to blog.   So watch this space!!!   I am off to the Adelaide market today  -  yummmm!  More Later!
 It is now later!!
 Day One - Thursday     I finally left Stanley in the afternoon after much packing, cleaning and organising.  I found it hard to believe I was actually leaving!
Thank you everyone for your love, support, goodbye hugs, etc.   I am so fortunate to have so many wonderful friends in my little corner of the world.   Myrtle and I trundled down the highway with our new friend (or foe) the Navman GPS.  I was thinking of heading across country towards Ballarat way with the help of Navman but he took me a bit too cross country (dirt roads/gulleys) and it was getting dark,  so I decided to head to Melbourne and call in and see my niece Belinda, her hubby, Cory and Will and Amy and to start again in the morning!  I had a very comfy night sleep in the van - so warm - I was glad for the extra blanket and doona I threw in before I left.

Day Two - Friday
I decided to give Navman another chance to redeem himself and he helped me navigate the freeways out of Melbourne off towards Ballarat so I may forgive him.   I decided to head straight to Adelaide and do the scenic route to Mt Gambia on my return home.    It was a long drive but interesting as the countryside looks amazing and I haven't driven some of that way before.  I arrived after 7 pm and the Navman helped me find Joy's house so I will keep him!   Another night in my home on wheels - tiny but warm and cosy!

    Hi Barbs,
    Great to talk with you today, I really felt like I was there with you! I love that Rock!!!! and can feel its power by connecting to you there.
    After our call a double rainbow appeared at mayday with the end of the rainbow right across from me on the other side of the road! It was certainly a message from that Giant warlu (Rainbow Serpiente) that hangs out at the rock! Cant wait to hear about your adventures tommorow.
    Love Lees
