We are in South Australia & we've found the hot weather!

We hit the South Australia border & we hit the heat on the same day...holy cow! Took the jumpers off & got the summer gear back out. It was quite strange after almost 2 mths of our driving being on the coast & the drive being quite slow due to the roads being so windy & hilly to entering South Australia & the roads are all so flat & straight & even the landscape is just flat & dry, trees seem to be rare thanks to the farmers clearing everything. Our first stop was at Mt Gambier & while to me it was just another city we did visit the Blue Crater Lake to see the amazing blue water & it was so worth seeing, you can hardly believe the colour, it didn't look real. We also went to visit the sunken garden but couldn't go down as it was closed due to 1000's of very angry bees. It looked really pretty from the top though. We moved on to Kingston SE which is a nice little town & we camped about 20mins north of there at a beach called The Granites. It was a great beach & it was so hot we all went for a swim in the ocean which was lovely but I had a very good eye on the water looking for any friendly Great Whites who may have been looking for a snack. We had a fantastic arvo swimming & making sandcastles & then to top it off we got to see the most incredible sunset over the ocean & if we turned around right behind us was a full moon over storm clouds, awesome sight!

The next few days were spent making our way slowly to Burra via Murray Bridge, Hahndorf & Adelaide. The kids absolutely loved Hahndorf where we took them to a Farm Barn & they got to play with heaps of baby animals & also got to feed them all & they got to milk a cow the old fashioned way & they were super excited when they got to hold a snake!

We are in Burra now for a few weeks were Glen has some work at the local school painting which is just over the fence from the caravan park we are staying at. We have meet a great couple staying next to us & are spending alot of time having fun all together, the kids are loving the extra little friend to play with. Burra is a beautiful little town with alot of history & old houses & buildings to look at. We are spending alot of time catching up on lots of school work which the kids are handling really well so far. It's pretty hot here at the moment so we are spending alot of time playing under the sprinklers....I miss my air con when it's this hot!
