VizslaMomma Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Is Jonah the dog you mentioned had car sickness? How is that going? He certainly looks totally at ease and enjoying himself. Photos are great. Edited April 27, 2014 by VizslaMomma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly looks totally at ease and enjoying himself. Photos are great. Thanks Hmmm maybe you are mixing me up with someone else, he has never been car sick.? Yesterday was a bit of a disaster as we left much later then planned and arrived at Coonabarabran in the dark, and today's leg to Broken Hill is the longest one so not much time for breaks if I am to avoid night driving. . But the rest are shorter and should leave more time for stops and walks etc. Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Edited April 27, 2014 by Canetoad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to look at Silverton if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canisbellum Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 I wasnt impressed with Broken Hill, the camp site was right on the fence of the main road and next to the chemical toilet dump. HAd a restless night with all the trucks and Jonah growling at people walking by and wanting to go out the cabin and check the neighbourhood. There was a old car club with restored caravans staying as well. Most of these photos were shot one handed through the windscreen so not the best quality Got stopped and inspected for contrabrand at the South Australia border Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazyWal Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Photos are fantastic! Love the old Holden and caravans, the long roads between towns would be pretty tiring I would imagine. Looks like you got a bit of rain in the pic with the on coming truck. Did you stop and have a beer at the Halfway Hotel? I would've :p I worked with a girl in a pub in Tweed Heads that had run a pub in Kalgoorlie, one of the 30 pubs in Kal if I remember rightly (sounds like my kinda town ;) ) and she loved the place, couldn't wait to get back there. Drive safe and keep the photos coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Loving it, Canetoad and Johah OMG, those old caravans Imagine a family holiday in ones of those. I can see now that you selected Jonah for his ability to blend with the landscape LOL. What a wonderful dog he is .... mind you, he has an owner who is tops as well. Stay safe. Don't listen to HazyWal about taking advantage of the drinking stops LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I drove from Canberra to Perth last August and loved it. I would have loved to go via Broken Hill, but I was travelling with a friend so we went Mildura, Renmark, Burra, Clare. Make sure you stop in at Head of Bight. Might not be the greatest time of year now, but we saw so many whales and calves. It was amazing. All of a sudden it was mid afternoon and we needed to be on the road again. Enjoy your trip. There is so much to see and it was nothing like I expected. Jonah looks like he is being a very well behaved boy. Be careful at the roadside stops, as many have already said, there are 1080 baits all over the place. Most are signposted, but I would keep him on a lead at all times just in case.

Little Gifts Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Cane Toad when you are settled I'll have to get your addy so I can post Jonah's altered jammies. He'll be needing them this winter. Miss you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
