Day 41 – Heading north
Today, we got into the necessary business of getting some distance covered. We packed and headed north in the general direction of Adelaide, with the idea of stopping somewhere when we got tired of it. With no particular plans, we still saw some sights.
This​ park in the town of Keith won the prize for the best kid’s ride: a mini-rollercoaster. Impossible to tell in the photo, but they’re actually moving pretty fast. And cackling like lunatics.
In the small town of Coonalpyn, the grain silos are painted with images of local children. The intent was to “make the town somewhere worth stopping in”. Worked!
The same place also features some murals done by the local community in the tunnel beneath the train tracks.
Our resting place today ended up being Williamstown, at a nice little park.
More miles to cover tomorrow. Destination is probably Port Augusta. We’ll see.
