Adelaide to Port Augusta

Well we are back on the road again after spending a little time with our new Nephew (Oscar) and Adam, Sasj and Isa.

We headed up the highway towards the Flinders Ranges, and guess what, its starting to heat up, 38 today.

More wheat fields and looks like these guys are harvesting a little earlier this year, most of the sites had a number of bunkers already set up and harvesters were going flat out all over the place.

Stopped in to see the longest timber jetty at Port Germain, long walk so decided we would take the opportunity to stop, stretch our legs and put a couple of beers in the fridge, didn't worry about walking the jetty as the tide was out and a long walk over mud flats was not too appealing.

Got to Port Augusta and set up camp at the caravan park, need to do a few emails and check on a couple of things.

Have to take Trev to the doctors, nothing major just a couple of leaks and want to make sure that the levels are good in the gear box and transfer case. Want to make sure everything is OK before heading north in to the middle of no where. Thought we could have got RAA (RACQ equivalent) to have a quick look but they brushed us. At the local Mitsubishi dealer instead, nice air-conditioned waiting room with TV........

Anyway, we are off to Wilpeena Pound tonight in the Flinders Ranges where we commence the real outback adventure. Will update this again when back in range and hopefully a heap of great shots to add, not much to see at Port Augusta.

A little news, congrats to Phillipa & Noel and Charlie & Amy on their engagements, we only need one more for the trifecta.........Hairy???????
