We find ourselves once again in lush pastoral land and as we pass through the Windunna District, we discover a Farmers Memorial dedicated by numerous families and associations in the area.
We have lunch at Kimba and pass by the "Big Galah". A sign at the bakery proclaims that Kimba is halfway across Australia.
Port Augusta is where the Outback meets the Ocean & is called "The Crossroads of Australia" because roads from Sydney to Perth and Adelaide to Darwin pass through port Augusta.
Established in 1852, it was one of South Australia's major ports for wool, minerals and wheat with regular shipping until 1973.
This progressive town at the northern end of the Spencer Gulf is nestled on the calm gulf waters and is used as a base for exploring the Flinders Ranges, the Outback and the Eyre Peninsula. This is the reason for us being here also and intend heading north east tomorrow.
