Port Augusta

16 December 2012
We bid farewell to Coober Pedy and sped on to Woomera. The location of several test missile launches back in the day. The display of planes and missiles was interesting, a little disappointing for the kids because they weren't allowed to climb over everything.

Woomera
It was 2.30pm when we finished having a look and considering it doesn't get dark until after 8.30pm we decided to go forth to Port Augusta. Turns out it is a pretty little city at the intersection of the Eyre and Yorke Peninsulas.

Today was a day to relax and kick back. We did a little shopping but that was about it.

The Flinders Ranges National Park is only just over a 100km away so off we went to have a day out driving around and having a look. The country side is a site to see. All the mountain ranges were different in their rock formations, the wheat crops were in stark contrast to the baron landscape. There seem to be a lot of sheep for not much feed. And there is also a lot of ruins. Oh...and emu, ferrel goats and kangaroos.

Really was worth the day trip and you could certainly spend more time here since we only covered the southern half of the park.
