Trish Travels: Lake Gairdner to Pt Augusta

Day 19 - Lake Gairdner to Pt Augusta

Tuesday, 12 November 2013

Heading towards a big smoke :( we were quite happy to find the tracks were still interesting even though this is all station country. First item of interest the old ruins of Coondanna Station and a little further down the road an old wooden cart. At the entry to Mt Ive station a large submarine half buried!! Why? HH commented "should have got a Garmin".

As we passed Nonning station we saw they were busy rounding up the sheep. Activity!

We see all sorts of RFDS donation boxes, but Siam station has to be the most unique - an old telephone box. Still beautiful country. The Baxter Ranges closing in. Beautiful and interesting. No need to pick up the distraction of a Sudoko or two.

Hit the Tarmac at Iron Knob. Quick look around, found another relic for Rob Pampling.

Into Port Augusta to see Glen at Isuzu. We have had another couple of warning lights come on.

Happy to find they can have a look at our Max in the morning so off we trot to get some fresh groceries. First time in a couple of weeks! Woo hoo a high light for me, fresh apples :)

Checked into the shoreline caravan Park - showers, washing. Proper clean :)
