Last year, our family made the move from Western Australia to South Australia. This trip was a good excuse to fill in some blanks and see more of the country.
The plan was as follows:
13 Dec 2018 - Rockingham to The Breakaways (482Kms)
14 Dec - The Breakaways to Caiguna Roadhouse (536Kms)
15 Dec - Caiguna Roadhouse to Border Village Caravan Park (329Kms)
16 Dec - Border Village Caravan Park to Head of the Bight Lookout (209Kms)
16 Dec - Head of the Bight Lookout to Fowlers Bay Eco Caravan Park (172Kms)
18 Dec - Fowlers Bay to Ceduna Shelly Beach Caravan Park (144Kms)
21 Dec - Ceduna to Smoky Bay Caravan Park (45Kms)
24 Dec - Smoky Bay to Streaky Bay Foreshore Caravan Park (73Kms)
28 Dec - Streaky Bay to Venus Bay Caravan Park (77Kms)
29 Dec - Venus Bay to Sheringa Beach Campsite (110Kms)
30 Dec - Sheringa Beach to Port Lincoln Tourist Park (136Kms)
4 Jan 2019 - Port Lincoln to Arno Bay Caravan Park (120Kms)
6 Jan - Arno Bay to Melrose Caravan Park (292Kms)
8 Jan - Melrose to North Largs (284Kms)
18 Jan - North Largs to Mawson Lakes and our new house (20Kms)

Rockingham to The Breakaways
​Day 1 - We started the day with no gas for cooking. I don't know how, but we had none left. We picked up some bottles and we were on our way. Basically our journey took us to Hyden and then on the dirt highway that is the Hyden - Norseman road. The road is better than 99% of sealed roads in SA. We really didn't see anyone on the road to The Breakaways.

The Breakaways are hidden in a rise and if there was not a sign, you would never know that they were there. We found ourselves a spot next to a picnic table and set up for the evening. The amazing thing was we were the only campers there and the place is beautiful as you can see from the photos below.

​If you ever get a chance to visit, I would highly recommend it.
