Pt 2 - Day 58 - Port Augusta

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TRACE AND MICK!!!!!

Today we decide to move on.  We had planned to go into Adelaide for a day, however, after driving through the city we couldn't bring ourselves to drive back in to do more sightseeing.  We are nearly "sightseeinged - out ".  Unfortunately, on a trip like this, after about the 5th museum and 3rd zoo and 15th tour, you get a bit over it, which is how we are feeling at the moment.  Which is a shame as there is still so much to see.  And as Dad says, once your vehicle is pointed in the direction of home, you just want to hit turbo boost and head for home. But, had we read your email yesterday Michael, we most likely would have stayed another day....oh well!! thems the breaks!!!!

So today was just a day of travel.  Although we did manage to meet up with Glen's Aunty Anne and Uncle Jamie who are heading across to Queensland to pick up their new Bushtracker.  It was great seeing some familiar faces and having a chat, even though it was brief, it was perfect timing.

We pull into our caravan park in Port Augusta......what a dive.  I'm afraid Port Augusta has lived up to it's reputation, we hadn't heard many good reports.  However, this is just somewhere to leave the van for a couple of days while we scoot up to Coober Pedy.  Unfortunately the park is about a "minus 5!!!" star, so we have everything crossed that the van will still be here when we get back and in one piece.  The kids immediately made friends with some kids that actually live in the park.  Needless to say, they received quite an education in the space of just one afternoon!!!
