BERRI TO PORT AUGUSTA

BERRI TO PORTAUGUSTA Tuesday 24^th May

On our way again, passed through lots of grape vine country and then through almost totally flat land full of salt bush, at least I think that is what it is, never seeing any sign of animal life wild or otherwise. Most of the traffic is caravans or motor homes. We could see lots of derelict stone buildings as we travelled along.

Burra

Burra was a very interesting place with heaps of old stone houses. It was a copper mining area.

Once past Burra the country seemed more luxuriant with sheep and some cattle. Lots of  wind turbines too.

Oraroo stopover

We are camped overnight just past Oraroo at a wayside stop and there are 6 other caravanners  along side of us. Very cold and windy here but we are cosy and spoiled with our diesel heater. (I Know I keep going on about it but I like to brag ha ha).

We have just heard that parts of the Oodnadatta track are closed due to rain, so we will have to wait until Port Augusta to decide just which direction we will go in.

Headed off this morning through the Flinders ranges, fascinating to look back on once you get through.
