After a long days travel from Coober Pedy to Port Augusta our progress has slowed down dramatically. There is now heaps to see. We stayed at Port Augusta for 3 nights. The 1st two in a caravan park and the 3rd night in a park for self contained rigs at a footy club for $5 a night. It was good to recharge our batteries.
It was really nice to be near water again. We then headed down the Eyre Peninsula. Our shortest travel day ever! We turned off to have a look at Port Lowly and it was so nice and a free camp spot that we stayed 2 nights. taking the Suzuki off to explore the area.
Next stop was Whyalla for another 2 nights. Camping ground again. We managed to find a hairdresser that was staying at the camping ground so both had much needed hair cuts. Our Camp spot was again spectacular.
The day we left Whyalla it was blowing a gale, a very uncomfortable trip. Drove down to Port Neill and stayed at the Caravan Park for $18 a night. Great value and lovely people. Tea at the Bowling Club for $8 each. Tui decided to try his hand at fishing off the wharf so dug for worms for bait.
The weather has been really strange. One day we are in shorts and TShirt the next we are in Track pants and jumpers! Went for a drive around the coast in Suzuki and had a look at Tumby Bay.
Our next stop Port Lincoln. We decided to have a look at Boston Point on the way there and low and behold came to a dead end with nowhere to turn around. Tested out Tui’s backing skills with 800+ metres to back before he had enough room to turn around, with a couple of corners to add to the mix. He did an amazing job.
Caught up with 25 motorhomes that were on their way to the National Rally in Kalgoorlie. They were staying at the Sports Ground and invited us to join them. Free camping and a smorgasbord dinner for $15 each.
We are now at the Port Lincoln National Park but more about that in the next Blog. Until then “Laugh more, live longer!!”
