Our final few days in SA

We are now making our way home and have spent the last few days enjoying the trip west whilst we are still in SA.

Our morning tea stop was at the picturesque Warran Reservoir.

We overnighted at Yacka in the Yackamoorundie Park on the banks of the Broughton River. Great spot and as you can see they are desperately waiting for rain as well. We had a lovely view up the valley from our camping spot.

This is our second time at Port Germein and we have agreed to stay for longer next time we are in the area. It’s claim to fame is that it has (supposedly) Australia’s longest wooden jetty – 1676 metres. We didn’t have time to take the walk out as we had to get to our next overnight destination to watch the footy. The tide was way out and off in the distance the Flinders Ranges were covered in a smoke haze.

Our next overnight stop was at Nuttbush Retreat on Pandurra Station about 30km on the western side of Port Augusta. Lovely afternoon when we arrived but woke to a very heavy fog. Delayed our start a little.

Love to see the big galah each time we pass through Kimba. Standing 8 metres tall it has had a makeover since our last visit.

Elliston is on the western coast of the Eyre Peninsula and we decided to take a short detour to revisit. It has such a lovely and rugged coastline.

The sculpture drive had quite a few art installations.

Between Elliston to Penong we called in to the all the little towns. The water was so calm – great lunch spot.

Our final overnight stay in SA is at Penong where we say the windmill display. Great idea to have it right next to the caravan park.

After leaving Penong we are saddened by the number of road kill wombats that we saw between Penong and Yalata. Perhaps 10 or 12 fresh carcasses and something we had not encountered before.

Our final look at SA was to call into the Whale Centre at the Head of the Bight. No whales today but great cliff views.

We have crossed back into WA and look forward to the next few days travelling home.

    I love all the places you’ve visited, I hope we get to go again sometime. I think it’s a part of the right of passage across the Nullarbor experience to go to the Bight, whales or not.

    Thanks for sharing this holiday. Wets the appetite to see that part of Eyre Peninsula again……maybe on another trip across the Nullarbor?🤫
