Just spent a week in the Mid north of SA- Kapunda, Morgan, Burra. Did most of the driving on back roads to see the country and avoid the bitumen. Days were great but the nights were cold to say the least. Still, having said that, at 2.00pm in Burra it was still only 12 degrees on one day with a wind-chill factor which had to be experienced before it could be believed.
Country is really dry considering that in a normal year the rains would have come by now.
Found a good spot for bush camping just south of Morgan at Cordola which is privately owned ( $5 per night) . Find it off the dirt road from Morgan south towards Blanchetown at Pelican Point
We were fascinated by the no. of caravans and other rigs which used the Burra Camping ground ( good facilities etc) for an overnight stop before disappearing next morning. They were from all over AUS; clearly Burra is a cross roads of a kind for travellers.
Not one EO sticker seen on the whole trip, however.
Lots to see in Burra. We were both surprised that we could spend two days and still not see it all. Lots of volunteers man museums and are helpful to tourists.
