Day 3

Our pre retirement trial trip- day 3
365km Overland Corner SA to Craddock SA

Home for the night-Cradock Hotel SA

The aim today was to get more kms under the tyres ready for the Flinders Ranges tomorrow. Job done ✔️

Our day started with a spectacular sunrise 🌅
Early start to catch the sunrise then start our journey through Burra to Jamestown, birthplace of R M Williams. Stopped there for lunch and think we saw a painting of Shawaddywaddy at the art centre 😳
Then continued along the R M Willjams Way to Cradock SA, home of the BIG Akubra 🤠

We saw beautiful yellow canola fields and lots of wildflowers and wildlife along the way: goats, emus, a kangaroo that was a little reluctant to move out of the road and a pigeon playing chicken that was eventually taken out by a seagull, sorry 😢

We arrived at Craddock just after lunch, with a plan to stay behind the pub and pop in there for dinner. Unfortunately the pub closed a 3, just enough time for a couple of drinks to put some money behind the bar as a thank you for the stay.

Johnny headed out to run his legs for a quick 5km and we shared a shower, to save water and costs 🚿😜

As the pub was closed, dinner was yummy beef snitz rolls, curtesy of the Overland Hotel 😋

And our day ended with a spectacular sunset 🌄Read more
