Port Augusta


We played our last game of golf here before we get to Alice Springs in about a month. Now we'll have to figure out how all the other travellers spend their time, when they don't play golf every second day! It's been very hot here for the last couple of days, perhaps softening us up for when we shortly hit the outback. Apart from a game of golf, the other highlight here was a cruise - yes, our second on this trip - up to the very top reaches of the Spencer Gulf. Some very friendly dolphins played tag with the bow of the boat, and the keen fisherman on board was excited to see some large kingfish. We've also had our first swim for the trip, the caravan park has a pool which we were most grateful for yesterday at about the point the temperature hit 35!
We've stocked up on foodstuffs here, as we don't expect to have any decent shopping for the next few days. After a bit over 2 weeks travelling, we are about to leave the cocoon of civilisation behind.....
