Day 36

Our pre retirement trial trip- day 36
358 km Andamooka to Whyalla SA

The aim today was to visit Woomera with the plan to stay to view the night sky at the observatory Job not quite done ❌

We did visit Woomera, and was a little underwhelmed- it was like a ghost town.
We visited the heritage centre and missile park and learnt a little about the area - now an RAAF base and the largest land-based missile and rocket range in the western world
But the caravan park has closed and there are very clear NO CAMPING signs everywhere. So def not welcome to stay the night for the Woomera Observatory

So with no plan we looked at the map and worked out our next stop based on distance, general direction and the weather 😜

Our initial plan was going to be a little chilly (for us) until mid next week so we thought we would postpone there for a few days.

Instead we headed to the Eyre Peninsula, somewhere new to us, and Whyalla, our base for the next few days

From the dusty opal fields to waterfront views, and a little civilisation for a few days- yay there’s a Coles and our washing can get dry without getting dusty 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Small things 🥰

Beautiful sunset but fish it’s chilly in the wind

Our home for the night- beachfront Whyalla Discovery Park.
