Day 3 began, first of all waking up at 3.30 local time (being 6am NZ time) and driving around Port Augusta trying to find somewhere open for breakfast. Lesson learnt today: places in Australia don’t tend to open until after 8.30/9am. So instead we ended up at a truck stop for breakfast, which wasn’t so bad, and useful because we needed to fill up anyway.
Quite a bit of driving to get done today. It’s a hard balance to strike between exploring Coober Pedy and hiting the road. So far we have only had a few hours without broadband. Today we will be without Internet for most of it. Talking books downloaded!

Welcome to our travel diary for this years trip!
Tokerau Beach to Kerikeri to Auckland
Day one of our Australian road trip started not with a car, but with a Q300 flight to Auckland. Because we fly out so early in the morning we thought it a good idea to stay in Auckland for the night. Check out our view from the hotel room below!
The day started with a quick trip down to Kerikeri from Tokerau and a very sad trip to the cattery (on our part anyway) before we caught the plane (And Danielle actually got to fly, not be taxi!) to Auckland. Caught up with our friend Brie for dinner and now it’s an early night before a 5am start.
Should be a good trip, watch this space…
