AustraliaSpent the morning in Port Augusta went to the Outback Discovery Center which was fantastic, the got some food and fuel to get ready for Lake Gairdner and headed to Nuttbush Retreat where I will leave the van while i am at Speed Week. Spent the afternoon with a few people from a car club that are also heading to speed week.
AustraliaDropped the van at Wilmington and headed to Alligator gorge great place but got to close to a browne snake that was in a hurry to get away for me. Then back to Wilmington to have a look at the Toy Museum, spent a couple of hours talking cars with the owner. Great day but bugger from the 3.5km walk throught the gorge.

AustraliaBig day today drove to Port Pirie via Port Broughton. Not much in between its a wheat farming area so it is pretty baron. Port Pirie also has a lead smelter that I am going to look at tomorrow, a sign I read said it's the largest in the world. I also narrowly missed being run over by a large train I went to give way but decided i better stop like the sign said, lucky as i did not see the trainRead more
AustraliaSome days are a little less glamorous than others. It's 4pm and I have been driving most of the day I stopped at Port Wakefield and Wallaroo but now I am parked for the night at a free camp on a closed school oval. The town is small and there is nothing to do except dor the pub.I will go for a walk have some dinner and go to bed early hopefully tomorrow will be a little more exciting.

AustraliaSpent most of the day visiting Mike from the ozclubbies forum he has an interesting history building clubmans. The hospitality from the SA group has been amazing. Went for a walk to the nearby jetty when I got back back to the caravan park.
AustraliaPack up day for Shona today she has been great company but has to go back to work, so now I will have to talk to myself. The photos are from the beach which is only a few steps from the caravan, I went for a fish there tonight but there was too much seaweed.
