Still in Adelaide, and we weren't leaving until we'd visited the National Rail Museum, the SA Maritime Museum and nearby Aviation Museum too. All interesting, but to a steam engine buff like yours truly - no expert, mind - the Railway Museum was the highlight. All are just a bit out of the central city...

Hi everyone in the group. (Happy Campers with Disabilities)We were able to sneak a few days away from July 18th. We just needed to veg out. First day saw us arrive 80km north from Ballarat to Teddington Reservoir. A good chance to try out our satellite vast tv again, which worked well. Unfortunately in...

My must-do list for our journey included visiting the 'Whyalla' ship memorial, saved and placed on the hard by the City Council with quite a lot of difficulty, well away from the water in that town. Scratch number 1 off the list.. and well worth the stop-over! HMAS Whyalla was one of 60 Bathurst-class A...

Marion Caravan Park proved to be a handy base from which to check out a few of Adelaide's delights. We'd been told about a very good park near the coast a little further out of town. But Marion proved to be a quality spot near good shopping and public transport, a well appointed if somewhat higher-price...

Leaving Port Augusta, we chose to climb into the mountains to the east and travel the Main North Road from Wilmington through Clare, and hole-up in Gawler for a night. We'd tackle the busy weekday roads of the capital next day after a rest. Good thing too as it turned out. But first.. the Main North Road,...

Paul and Lynda. Paul rang a f...

Number two on our must-do list was a ride on the heritage Pichi Richi Railway. If you are in the vicinity of Port Augusta, we highly recommend this day trip, with its tie-in lunch served at one of the pubs in Quorn at outward journey's end. It's a distance of about 40 km from the Port to little town of Quorn....

On 29th of June 1959, a fishing boat, the 'Wangaree', was wrecked when a pot line tangled around the propeller and the vessel was swept onto the rocky coast nearby. Two of the crew, skipper Eric Tapley and his son Barry, survived. But young crewmember, Leo Cummings, 23, was lost. A monument to Leo...

Port Augusta is a town of contrasts. There is the waterway near the top end of Spencer Gulf making the place that much more attractive. Then as soon as you're heading out of town, you're into semi arid surrounds that seem to be another world. If you choose to drive up and over the ranges nearby, you're pre...

As we continued our Flinders Hwy run toward our next stop, Elliston, we passed through the locality of Colton. It's a 'blink and you'll miss it' spot. Going through, I spotted an old derelict church there. It's flies to a honeypot for me when such a structure is standing out on its own, and in a farm pa...

Port Augusta.. part A. Have to admit, Port Augusta captivated us. We intended to stay 4 days to look around and jump onto the Pichi Richi Railway out to Quorn. That was number two on your correspondent's 'must do' list. I'd been to Pt Augusta twice before, first time I was 7 y.o. then at 11 when I passed thr...

We arrived on time after stopping in Exmouth for a 24 x 600ml pack of water and a few extra's from IGA. Lets plug the Chess freezer and fridge in first to get them cold.

Goodbye to Ceduna, and we made our way along the coastal route, Flinders Hwy, south-east, the long road to Port Augusta. As we discovered on the way home, the coastal run is the choice one, even if it does add a couple of hundred kays to the journey. It's well worth the trek. The run back along the inland Ey...
