A long day of driving (firstly through fog) on the Stuart Highway through SA’s desert landscape and then into Port Augusta with views of the Flinders Ranges to the east.
On to the A1 then off towards Crystal Brook, Gulnare, Spaulding and Burra with their lovely old stone homes and buildings.
It was overcast with sporadic rain all day so it was nice to finally arrive in Berri for the night. Berri, better known as Australia’s fruit bowl, has some of Australia’s best regional produce and is lined with rich riverbanks teeming with wildlife, especially pelicans. We stayed at the Berri Hotel situated on the Murray River and had a huge dinner at their restaurant.
Thursday - weather still cold and overcast and we pushed through to Wagga Wagga for the night, staying at The International Hotel.
Friday - ditto for weather, everything is looking very green due to recent rainfalls.
Arrived home safe and sound with another successful trip completed!
