The last leg of our journey to Adelaide from the Coorong national park and its isolated coast, after a morning walk through the sand dunes with the wild 'roos'. We head swiftly on and hit the road, It turns out to be the straightest road we've ever seen. Simple. Mesmerized by the driving we seem to miss the turn off and end up lost in the Adelaide hills. Windy roads with steep drops, not what you need to end your day.
So we try to cut back over to the coast, Storm navigating with a completely uninformative map, I become a rally driver, tracking corners that have drops that leave no room for error and climbing our vanny up ridiculously steep inclines. The pressure is on, almost on autopilot to the lefts and rights that I am being rapidly told. I manage the insanity of fast reactions to vehicles, signs, windy corners, directions, no directions and we make it to the coast!
Quite a feat of driving, almost 7 hours on and off by the time we reach the campsite! Ah. Fatigue! Long day, I've never felt such a wired buzz from driving and with a cool beer we slowly calm down.
