https://tentoesinthewater.blogspot.com/ Linking up with Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday. 19th June 2019 I have not taken any photos this week, just because I haven't been out and about and I thought housework would not be a very interesting topic so I am posting some photos from way back in 2009 when we did our first long trip halfway around Australia.  We left from Adelaide and headed north to Darwin then across to Western Australia  and down the West coast and across the Nullabor back to Adelaide.

  Our World Tuesday 4th  June 2019  Last year we spent a week in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia.  We try to go there every year as it is one of our favourite places.  We used to go camping with our children in our tent, then progressed to a small caravan, then one with a shower/toilet and in 2010 we bought our present van with a larger ensuite and a few more little extras to make caravanning easier for us as we are not as young now! Camping at Farina, Sth Aus. Farina camping area Our campsite at Farina Sunset at Farina Our campsite at Farina was near the fence line of Farina Station.  When we arrived there were quite a few caravans and tents already set up.  The camping area is huge with lots of lovely gum trees scattered around and also fire pits for use by the campers.  We didn't want to be too close to other campers, and some were obviously travelling together so we decided to drive through the camping area to the far side near the fence and alth
