DAY 241 - 15/10/2010 - Port Germein, SA & Vale Park, SA

Woken up by the verocious wind at 1am. It was howling all around us. We quickly pulled the awning in and tied down all we could.

Back to bed but not for long.....

A 3am wake up because of the loud wind and heavy rains. It seems to be getting worse. The girls are all up now too as their lid end is sagging badly from the wind and almost pushing it shut.

Back to bed for more zzzzzz

Up at 7am and the winds are still bad and its pouring rain. We've decided we need to get out of here quick sticks. The rain is icey cold, its freezing out there, the vans swaying and loo runs are a massive mission because its flooded outside. We manage to pack everything up and drive off. Other residents think we're mad packing up and driving in this but we need to get out.


The water is over the barrier and almost over the road.

The old saloon and brothel across the road from the jetty.

An old building on the outskirts of Port Germein

Getting out of here

This is what we are leaving behind.

We drive straight to Adelaide and have set up camp 5km out of the city in a suburb called Vale Park. The van park is attractive and clean. The weather has improved and only drizzling on and off.

Must catch up on sleep tonight and be refreshed for tomorrow.
