An overnight camp at Pimba last night signalled the end of our outback adventure as we were heading back to 'civilisation' as we know it when we left for Port Pirie this morning. It was only 172 ks from to Pimba to Port Augusta so it did not seem long before we arrived at Port Augusta for our morning tea stop. We travelled through more country that a rabbit would need to take a 'cut lunch' to survive in and this in a good year, when the landscape started to change slowly to see the beginning of agriculture on the approach to Port Augusta. We have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the beauty of the outback and now look forward to seeing parts of South Australia green as during previous visits this area has been in drought. I could not resist finding a seafood shop to buy some King George Whiting fillets to enjoy whilst we are in the area and a childhood jam 'quandong' from a roadside stop. We spent the afternoon doing a bit of spring cleaning as the red soil of the interior has a habit of invading your space a little.
Look out civilization, here you come hey! Seems amazing that you have come so far. Pictures are beautiful and you have done a great job of keeping us informed. Great to talk to you, hope you continue to have a fun time as I am sure you will. Say hi to the Rohde's when you catch up with them. Luv Judy and Ken
