A Long Day
Another long day driving over old territory. Set out at 8.30am with the intention of staying at Woomera and drove steadily south with that in mind.
Refuelled at Glendambo with 60 litres of diesel, that meant 12 litres left in the tank which should have got us to Woomera but it would have been a close run thing.
Stopped at a salt lake (Lake Hart) for a breather and a chance to stretch our legs a few kms before the Woomera turn off.
When we did arrive at Pimba where the road turns off to go to Woomera it was only 2.30pm, a quick look at the map showed Port Augusta only another 170 km further on, so made the decision to keep going.
Finally arrived at Port Augusta at 4 30 and booked in at the Shoreline Caravan Park, it is indeed right on the beach!
Deposited the camper and filled up with fuel at the local Coles Express and settled in for the night after a quick walk to the water front to watch The Ghan set off for Alice Springs and Darwin.
After the heat of Central Australia the cold wind here was a bit of a shock, down to 9° tonight.
