Saturday - and we are in Port Augusta.



Ready to go.

Darn - rain!

Driving through the Hunter

Wattle lines the roads

We drove from Broken Hill to Port Augusta today. It was a really pleasant drive and the countryside is amazingly green after all of the rains. We just ambled along and stopped from time to time to take a few pics and have a cup of coffee. It is easy to underestimate the beauty of the tiny roadside flowers and it is not until you stop that you see them in their full glory. Although it was getting late we managed to get lunch in The Royal Hotel in Peterborough. The owners have spent a lot of money on renovating this beautiful old building - I only hope the tourist dollars are there to repay their invstment.Beside the van tonight there is a beautiful flowering gum but the light disappeared this afternoon before I could get a decent photo. Hopefully the morning sun will be in the right position. Today's discovery - if you park under a tree you cannot raise the TV antenna. Now that's a surprise!
