A side from some rain it was un uneventful first few hours, well that is what we thought! Some where after departing the city lights and the first light of day our front window cover had part ways with the van and is lying on the highway, probably in pieces! I had heard that this has happened to other Jayco vans so we made certain the latches were correctly closed! Didn't seem to matter. We covered the window with pizza boxes supplied by our friendly cafe breakfast stop. Unfortunately the rain continued to cause a problem and after a few stops we had to replace the boxes with some stronger cardboard sourced at the rear of an IGA in Red Cliffs.
The quarantine dudes at the SA border had been watching too many episodes of border force and confiscated all our fruit... Should have know, this had happened before. So a brief stop in Renmark for minimal restock was in order.
From there we cruised on to Burra and our final resting stop at Mount Bryan. 930kms down the track. It was a huge day but we are where we wanted to be for our first day and well on the way to our first destination, Kings Canyon.
