We weren’t sorry to say goodbye to Port Germein today, it was just a little bit quiet for us. From Port Germein it was a left turn up Highway 1 to Port Augusta. We visited Port Augusta last year when we came over to the Flinders Ranges, so we didn’t stop, just continued on to Whyalla and had lunch there. Being a public holiday there was very little open so it was a quick bite in the local shopping centre then off again. Once you do the turn at Port Augusta you are basically on the edge of the outback, so its red soil onwards for the next 6 or so months. Basically from Whyalla you are on the Eyre Peninsula, so we headed south to Arno Bay which is about half way between Whyalla and Port Lincoln on the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula. We stopped at Cowell about 50 km’s north of Arno Bay for some more silo art, there are truly gifted artists showing their talents on old silos all over the country. Finally arriving into a windy Arno Bay. Our site in the park has a good view of the jetty and beach, Susan is going to go fishing tomorrow and endeavour to catch us something for dinner. Me, I’ll relax, as I’m still stressed from the excitement at Port Germein. What was very pleasing was the crabs served up at Happy Hour tonight by the owner of the park, by far the best crabs I have ever had. There is something different every night at happy hour so I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s edition, with a Bundy in hand (of course)!


So good to hear from you. Was thinking ‘Wolf Creek’ there for a while.
Great blogs. The real adventure is about to begin though. Looking forward to lots & lots of photos of red stuff.
