Eyre Peninsula

We were up early and on the road just after 8.00am. This is our first trip with the caravan and it towed really well. We made it to Port Augusta by 1.00pm and were able to sit between 90-100km. Lucky there were no hills to slow us down to much. Roads weren’t too bad with only a few idiots trying daring overtaking moves. The recent rains have certainly greened up the landscape a little.
We did some shopping and headed to the caravan park. A nice place next to the gulf with views of the Flinders from our spot. A dip in the pool with the kids was great and a good relief from the hot sun.



A beautiful sunny morning greeted us and after some bacon and eggs we headed of to town for a walk around looking at the old buildings and wharf. Lots of fish swimming around the old bridge.

We drove towards Whyalla and turned off to the camp site at Point Douglas. We found a nice place right at the end of the road where the Army reserve is. We have it all to ourselves at this stage. We found another place earlier that even had flushing toilets and some questionable reading material in them, well at least for under 18’s. No fishing there so we had to move on
