We left Adelaide yesterday and we were all a little
grumpy. The kids were grumpy because we
were leaving a nice warm house, toys and a tv, Jason was grumpy because we were
heading east towards home and I was grumpy because we weren’t at home yet!
We decided to head to Naracoorte to see the caves and
fossils as recommended by Kim and Trudi. On our way we did a bit of a
quick side trip past Christies Beach where I lived before my family moved to Queensland. I remember the park next door and the big
cliffs (although they both looked a lot larger when I was 5!) but it was still
good to go down memory lane.
Onto Naracoorte and we managed to find the Retra-Vision
store to swap our heater over that decided to stop working when we were at
Ayres Rock and the boys found the local McDonalds playground.
It rained most of the night but we woke up and the sun was
shining. We headed to the Naracoorte Caves.
We did a short tour through Alexandra Cave and saw the stalactites and
stalagmites. They also have the Wonambi
Fossil Centre here and we had a walk through the interactive centre with life
size models of extinct animals. The boys
loved it! It was very well done and
worth a visit.
The weather certainly hasn’t been in our favour lately and
in true form it rained most of the afternoon.
It did give us some much needed “down time” so it was a great excuse to
do nothing.
Heading to Victoria tomorrow to visit The Grampians. It certainly does feel like our trip is
coming to an end far too quickly!
