To Roachie, Aussie Chef and Willem

A long overdue thank you.

After the Pyrenees get together we headed across the Big Desert with Willem, Muddie and Muddies Doe and then into SA to explore the Yorke and Eyre Peninsulars by ourselves. In Port Vincent we met up with Warren - Aussie Chef and had dinner at his hotel. He invited us back to his home for coffee and to set up the roof top tent in his back yard. We had never met or talked on theforum and we were overwhelmed by such hospitality.

John Renyard told Roachie that we would soon be heading his way. One phone call and we were invited for afternoon tea with Bill, Annette and the boys. This was extended to join them for a BBQ dinner, we supplied our own of course, and then to camp in the back yard. The following morning we were going to catch the early morning ferry from Wallaroo to Lucky Bay on Eyre Peninsular but Bill suggested the 2.00pm ferry so he and Annette could show us all around the area. Once again, we had never met before.

On our Big Desert crossing, Willem had extended us an invitation to stay at his place in Peterborough on our return journey. We ended up staying 2 nights in the beautiful backyard that both Willem and Judith have created. We just wish we could grow plants and vegetables the way they do. Once again we were taken around the sights and saw the things that are near and dear to their hearts.

Thank you and we apologise for taking so long to acknowledge what a what a wonderful family the ExplorOz members are.
