Shelly Beach

We have reached the Southern Ocean. 

Shelly Beach near Ceduna lives up to its name.

The overcast skies and rain continue  as they have since Moree - a week ago.

Silo Art

My first Silo Art at Kimba.

Arid Garden

Australian Arid Lands Botanical Garden.

Just outside Port Augusta and beside the Spencer Gulf - It is a great display of the plants of arid Australia. There are many birds, some Singlebacks and a great cafe.

Hail storm

Our car is copping it in a hail storm at Port Augusta. 

Inside the caravan we cannot hear each other speak.

Spencer Gulf

View of the tip of Spencer Gulf.

Another rest day this time in Port Augusta. 

Road Skink

Singleback Lizard

As I drove from Peterborough to Port Augusta I noticed what appeared to be sticks crawing across the road. 

They were Singlebacks.

Alas we have no bananas

Today we drove from Broken Hill to Peterborough crossing the NSW-SA border. There was a sign adjacent to a ditch- not much to show.

There were long patches of reduced speed for road works but not much actual work.

There rest stops in SA so far have been very primative - a place to pull over with shaded picnic table, and that's all.

About 18km before Peterborough we were stopped and handed over all our fruit - tomatoes, pumpkin, avocados, strawberries and papaya. I was really looking forward to eating that papaya.
