We just returned from 2 weeks ex Melb. (to escape the Comm. games) over to the Eyre peninsula,
Ceduna, Goog's track, along the railway line to
Kingoonya, Down to Mt. Ive station,
Yunta, Chowilla regional park, across Wyperfield Nat. Park and back to the grind. We had 2 days @ Memory cove on Pt Lincoln Nat Park which was magnificent, then over to
Coffin Bay and another 2 days on
the beach fishing and driving. Up through
Ceduna and along Goog's track. This was where the fun really began! Over 300 sand dunes later we camped at the foot of Mt. Finke. We were 6 vehicles with camper trailers. All of us made it up the dunes no problems although some were more challenging than others! If we got complacent we got stuck but by letting the tyres down to 18 psi we all got over.
Kingoonya was amazing being an abandoned ailway town. We camped in the main street and not a soul was around. Very little damage has been done by vandals as it is too far away.Over to
Yunta and set up
camp across the road from the pub in between the rail line and the highway. Lucky the publican was friendly cos after a few we all slept
well! Down to Chowilla near
Renmark to
camp on the banks of Chowilla creek ,a tributary of the Murray for a
well deserved swim, then across Wyperfield Nat park to
lake Hindmarsh and then
home.
What a fantastic taste of the real Oz.
I wish I could type better to convey a lot more of a fantastic trip!
See you out there one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
