We had a fairly long drive today from Nuriootpa to Kimba – 445kms travelling NNE to Port Augusta, then SW to Kimba. The sunset last night was followed by fog this morning.
We stocked up with coffee and food from Linke’s Bakery in Nuriootpa. Some of the roads were rough but at least we managed to stay on sealed roads all day! There were many interesting sights en route, and a few towns we could happily revisit. The mural is in Owen, the hotel in Balaklava, and the church at Mount Templeton.
We stopped for lunch at Port Germein where there is a timber jetty built in 1881. It was reported to be the longest timber jetty in the southern hemisphere at the time – 1,680m. Bluey reluctantly walked with me halfway along the jetty. He is very woolly to keep him warm, but we need to find a groomer.
We drove past a section of the Flinders Ranges and Port Pirie, and through Port Augusta where we stopped to refuel.
Kimba has painted silos and murals on some of the buildings in the free camping are where we are staying.
One of our Roadie friends took photos of Beccy laying in the dust near our Bushtracker taking a selfie with Tilly while we were at Walloway. Blue had to get in on the act.
