Day 7 – Port Augusta and possums
After packing up early, we went for a look around Kimba. First up: White Knob, a small hill with some caves and a sculpture commemorating the explorer Edward John Eyre.
Later, we walked the Roora Reserve trail through some bushland that also hosted more sculpture.
The kids responded to this fine artwork by climbing on it. Youth.
We upped stumps towards Port Augusta. This regional town looked rather nice, though we only spent enough time there to scoff lunch.
We continued towards the Flinders Range. The sudden rise of these steep hills after the endless flat plain was both dramatic and spectacular.
Our campsite that arvo was Beautiful Valley caravan park, just outside the town of Wilmington. We chose a bush site down the back.
I rate this place as “okay”, except for one thing: the local possums have become very comfortable with humans.
That’s worth the price of admission, right there.
