The drive to Albany involved no detours apart from more toilet stops than usual due to a burger from a burger van. I should have learnt my lesson by now. The evening involved a quick provisions stop and we tried to settle in for the night the wind, however, had other ideas (not my flatulence for once). We ventured off the next day a little unrested in search of the artificial reef HMAS Perth, which apparently you can snorkel to. But it turns out you can't&#...

Morning came all too soon and to wake ourselves up we ventured straight to the shower block. Now I realise the very nature of the places we are staying tends to attract the elder of the population, but it is especially noticeable when you work into a caravan park toilet/shower block and are greeted with 7 closed doors and what sounds like carpet bombing inflicted on the Viet Kong during the Vietnam war.

The eagles were a sight to behold but...

There were a few photo opportuniti...

We Thought about possibly staying an extra night in Adelaide but a sense of urgency set in to press on. So we packed up camp and left, destination Port Augusta. Port Augusta or Port 'A Gutter' as it's dubbed by Adelaidians is about 4.5hr drive (including another stop at Super Cheap Auto to sort out navman)which is both long and quite boring. However, the endless road trains will help keep you on your toes when they pass. We didn't actually stop at PA as again w...
