Cummins

From the coast we headed inland for a couple of days to catch up with household chores. On the way we passed one of the most recognisable pieces of silo art in South Australia. It really is very clever how the image must be viewed from a certain spot to be able to see the detail.
Cummins is s mall town in the centre of the Eyre Peninsular and a hub for much of the storage and distribution of the grain that is grown in the area. A small community run caravan park was our base for the stay.
It seems the original van park owners abandoned the spot and the community could see the advantage of still having the park in town. The admin is done at the local Deli and volunteers look after the grounds, which were in terrific condition. The bonus for this park is that they offer free use of the laundry facilities (washer and dryer) and even provide detergent. Faye said she has never seen a 14kg washer before. We managed to wash and dry all the mats, sheets, blankets, doona cover and clothes during our two day stay. We even enjoyed some apricots that the volunteer caretaker was giving away.
The town itself is not overly burdened with things to do or see so we made sure we were stocked up and clean (on the inside anyway) before moving on.En savoir plus
