Port Augusta

Yesterday we drove from Coffin Bay to Port Augusta (actually for some reason I drove the whole way) stopping for a counter lunch in a pub down by the jetty at Port Neill. It was another lovely drive with the ocean on our right a good part of the way and wheat and canola about to be harvested on our left. We were tempted to stop and stay in Tumby Bay, but decided we can do that next year. It looks really beautiful.

We booked 3 nights in Port Augusta (an all time record for us) as we want to do some laundry and watch the cup today, then shop and visit the interpretive centre and arid dry land gardens tomorrow. I am the only one who sees the funny side of us not revieving channel 7 so not getting a cup coverage-something we would have been able to get in Coffin Bay! It's amazing how the tables have turned when Russ wants to watch something-he's out there twirling the antenna and trying it in vertical and horizontal positions-now he's off to the rec room to check that TV out. If it was me wanting to watch Idol.............

After we arrived and set up yesterday, Russ went to town while I played with my new internet dongle (faster and cheaper Yay!) to shop. He came home with a nice bottle of NZ Sav Blanc and nibbles for our cup watching and now we can't see it!!!!

Thursday we are off to Hawker and the Flinders Ranges for a few days.
