- After having the Landcruiser and caravan professionally weighed by Andrew of Onsite Weighbridge, we make our way towards the Eyre Peninsula by heading across to Ceduna where we get ready to head south. This will be the first part of a series of Eyre Peninsula videos which will capture our travels over the next few weeks.

I really enjoy your videos straight forward easy to listen to and you don't have marketing rubbish
Thank you🙂 Every time a promoter contacts us we say no, it isn't who we are👍
I totally agree with your comments on Kimba's campground. I have stayed there myself and found it to be better than many caravan parks. Extremely tidy and great facilities. Great meals at the nearby pub as well.
Also a fan of the Shelley beach caravan park. If you get the chance book one of the beach view sites. They only have the 2 but it makes for an awesome stay when at Ceduna. Great views all day long and as easy walk down to the beach.
Interesting getting the rig over the scales. I am curious to know the breakdown of Van and Tug weights when hooked up for travel. Keep the videos coming Mick.
The beach view sites were all booked while we were there so we missed out on all the sea views🥲
The caravan to our surprise when just over 100kg over weight so we will look at seeing if we can have the van upgraded. Andrew who weighed us has given us the appropriate info on where to start with that👍
Just wondering what the Weight problem was. Car or caravan. Considering you changed from the Colorado to the landcruiser to fix the problem.
The weight issue that we had was all to do with the caravan. Off loaded a little bit of stuff before we left home to get things back where they should be. We will be looking at having our caravan weights re-plated if it meets all the requirements as running so close to maximum permitted weight is no fun.
Hi Mick and Sally, Hubby and I thoroughly enjoy your videos. He is a long-time subscriber and while he's packing for our first long trip, he has asked me to find out what cameras, microphones, tripods, filters and drone you use. He would greatly appreciate your suggestions. Thank you for your help and the great videos!
Most of our recording is done with GoPro's plus we use our iPhones at times if the GoPro's are not near us. We have a media mic on one of our GoPro's which is great for voice recording. Our drone is an Air 2S dji drone. Hope this gets him the info that he is after, have a great trip when you leave.
Hi Mick and Sally, fyi if you're going through Wudinna again about 15km to the north is mount Wudinna awesome spot and you can climb the rock witch rivals Uluru. No camping last time I was there.
Also just 15 km north of Minnipa is Pildappa rock . There is Donation camping and a wave rock there that can be climbed, drop toilet.
We have camped a few times at Pildappa Rock previously and nearly went there on this trip but decided to give it a miss due to the recent redevelopment of the campground. We will be on the Peninsula for a few weeks but there is just too much to see in any given amount of time.
Mick, how'd you be visiting my very old stomping ground. Thevenard goes way back to my youth and mingling with Greek Fishermen, and farmers on the outskirts of a vast dry battling area. So far back that i do believe I fired the last T Class locomotive out of Thevenard for the SA Railways on narrow gauge.
Gosh! The memories of my spare time diving for Scallops, Razor Fish which i used to pickle and sell to attendees of the local watering hole. Wow, my ole memories are whizzing thru my old grey matter. A bloke should write all them before age runs away too quick and lost.
Also have super great memories of the old narrow gauge tracks right up thru to Buckleboo . and carting water during a major drought. Stop it...ha ha , my head is spinning.
Do take your time, spread your travels to inner Eyre Peninsula, and get some info about Legendary South Australian bus driver Sylvia Birdseye introduced a vital overland mail and passenger service between Eyre Peninsula and Adelaide in 1928 and drove about four million miles during 43 years behind the wheel. Tough times, but heaps of survivors. Cheers.👍
Wow, what a read. You should really pen that to paper before it is all lost👌
Beautiful sunsets, you guys are truly blessed. Thanks for
Yes we are
I noticed that you showed a road train in your video
Do you miss driving them?
Truck driving has many rewarding aspects to it and yes I do miss the Darwin run that I was doing with my driving partner Mark when I gave it away.
Can we see more of Sally's work😮
As Sally completes some pieces, we will show them👍
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 Definitely show your viewers Sally's work. Clearly a talented lady
I was over there to Kimba and Cleve a few weeks ago.
Not sure about Cleve, the crops around Kimba are in poor condition from the lack of rain.
Don’t know if this gets to you before your back home. My Dad was born at Calca just down the road fro Streaky Bay. I have relatives in Port Lincoln. Watson’s menswear. A good place to shop.
We left Ceduna only this morning so the video is our current time and travels. We leave here tomorrow morning (as long as we don't get blown away tonight🙃) and heading towards Streaky Bay from here👍
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 oh that’s good to hear, have you been to Murphys Haystacks? That’s out near Calca. Oh by the way I’m in Queensland
@@davidwatson3921 Very good. We have been this way many times before although it is some years now since we have been in the area.
Another great trip under way I see. Thanks for showing us the Advent Calendar, lovely work Sally! Looks like youve had some lovely weather. Cheers Cheryl 🙂
The weather so far has been good even though we have had a little rain during a couple of nights.
Thanks for showing Sally's sewing. I love doing all kinds of sewing, and the latest I'm learning is patchwork. Did she enjoy her patchwork retreat?
Sally did enjoy the retreat at Burra. There is a retreat that they all attend twice yearly, something that the ladies look forward to.
Bonjour Mick et Sally. Merci pour cette visite ensoleillée. J'aimerais passer une commande à Sally pour Noël, étant donné que j'ai été sage 😁. Je souhaiterais un joli pull de Noël ! Merci Sally ! 😉 Salutations de France, JPhB.
😂😂😂Should you every get to Australia, Sally will have one ready for you🙂
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 ❤ ! A bientôt ! ✈😁
Hi Mick and Sally
Is Sheringa Roadhouse still as charming a little stop as it was in 2013 when this UKer was campervanning in Oz.
I remember being in Ceduna on a Saturday afternoon when the police were rounding up the Aboriginals and taking them home. It was a fantastic drive, Cairns, Brisbane, the SHB and coastal west to Cape Leewin and north to Darwin. Twelve weeks I'll never forget.
Thanks for the video.
We are heading towards Sheringa, been so many years since we have been there. Sounds like you had a great trip while here in Australia🙂
@justcruisinwithmicksally837
THE trip of a lifetime with memories that will last my lifetime. And met some great Aussies I'm still in contact with even from 2013. Enjoy your drive. Jealous? Not half!!🤣🤣

Mick and Sally
There are other lifetime drives. In 2016 I returned, drove Perth to Darwin via the Great Northern and via the Stuart to Adelaide and in 2018 I campered Cairns to Darwin via the Gulf towns. I've only ever hired 2wd so never ventured on to the 'dirt'. I've done all I set out to do👍
@@Onthemove6801 sounds like you have done some very good and memorable trips. No need to have all the big 4WD units to enjoy what is out there to be seen🙂
Awesome, keep the content coming and enjoy.
Thanks, will do!
It's great to see you getting out and about Mick, and I'm glad that you are enjoying Ceduna.
We have left Ceduna this morning but did enjoy our time there🙂
Oh Sally, I do trust test you're doing well.
The recovery is going well thanks🙂
Had the same thing done about 3 years ago. Best thing I ever did, verging on a miracle.
@@CliveWallace-bx7rg After walking down stairs to the beach today, Sally said that she waited too long to get hers done as she could see the stairs so much better.
I live just down the road from Lawrie Park, and there is always at least one camper there (usually a lot more). The only time I've seen it empty was during Easter a few years back!
This one always gets good reviews, nice location helps🙂
At 9:25: what a corner! So many lives and vehicles lost.
I wasn't aware of that, such a shame.
Yes that T Junction at Kyancutta has caught lots of people and far too many never made it back home.
@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 I'm a local. Used to play netball for Kyancutta.
Love this one,spent many happy years in and around Ceduna and Thevenard,even worked in the railway when it ran there.Enjoying this one and looking forward to the rest of this adventure. Cheers 😊😊
Nice to hear you enjoyed it, thank you🙂
Great video on this subject should be mandatory. Fortunately, we travel pretty light car and van but unless you weigh you just don't know. Fantastic look at this area so thanks again for your great work.
Glad you enjoyed the video, weights are such a big issue👍
I had an uncle who did a few years as a teacher at Iron Barren back in the 70's. I think it was a bit of a shock for him being a city boy!
Definitely different country compared to a city life.
I am heading across that way next week. Thanks for the tips on places to stay.
Kimba has seen so many great reviews, we just had to stay there🙂
Six days on the road...
and enjoying every one of them👍
Six days was a short trip for many an old timer. Or a quick East West express return for others😊@@justcruisinwithmicksally837

Looks are one thing, the taste was out of this world🙂
