Distance: 262 Km

Fuel: 30 L

After a shower and breakfast went for a walk to the local IGA for a couple of groceries before coupling up the camper and getting ready to go.

Not far to go today, less than 300km so no rush, nice drive through the Flinders Ranges, hardly any traffic until I got close to Port Augusta. Tom Tom found a short cut round Port Augusta but it was bumpy I should have stuck to the highway.

BTW am back on Highway 1 which circumnavigates Australia and is the longest road in the world, Left it when I got to the top of Mt Ousley in Wollongong but am back on it for the next 1200km across the Nullarbor Plain.

Arrived in Kimba just after midday but for the second day running the sat nav had trouble finding the caravan park. its location was actually not even close.

Took the opportunity to hand wash some clothes before having a quick look at Kimba. It appears to be a big rest stop for the road trains crossing the Nullarbor, there is a big parking bay opposite the fuel stop where drivers have their compulsory breaks – quite interesting watching the activities there.
