It had been a hot and uncomfortable night even with the fan and I didn't sleep that well. Never mind, it's not a problem and I'm sure there'll be plenty more hot nights. I'd had a really great time in Parachilna but after breakfast I had to go. The plan was to drive back to Port Augusta and then onto the Mount Remarkable National Park. It took just over two hours to get back to Port Augusta including a fuel stop at Hawker. It was a very lonely road and I hardly s...

I wasn’t planning on doing a walk today but after breakfast I set off for a stroll anyway. I intended to do the Drought Busters walk which was only 2 kilometres.

I stopped here for some petrol and to get some food. I noticed a IGA Foodland on the way through which was good. The road was very winding out of Port Augusta but s...

I got up fairly late today and only had time to do my dishes from last night and have a shower before 10 when camp sites usually have to be vacated. I drove to the Port Lincoln foreshore and had my breakfast there, a grapefruit, yummy porridge and toast. I didn’t fancy doing much today so I didn’t. I drove for about 2 hours to a camp just outside Cowell. I stopped at a place called Arno Bay , a tuna fishing town on the way. The Harbour View Caravan Pa...
