BIG day in SA!

Day 3: Broken Hill to Streaky Bay

We got off to an early start for another BIG day!  Here are a few of the BIG things that come to mind:

BIG breakfast - awesome little restruarant in Broken Hill called Cafe Alfresco.

BIG birds in BIG wide open spaces

BIGGEST Gum tree I've ever seen!

BIG toys


And a bloody BIG galah!!

There were a few other significant events on the day too...

We waved goodbye to NSW and said a BIG hello to SA!

We went through an number of BIG dust storms with BIG winds

And we drove off into a BIG sunset

We got a little further than we initially had planned. Instead of Port Augusta (a BIG industrial town) we decided to push through to the more inviting Streaky Bay.  The wind was still blowing strong so we decided to spoil ourselves and stay in a lovely little villa instead of trying to put the tent up in the wind and rain.  We're planning on staying here a couple of nights which should give Nick some time to go fishing and give us both a little rest from all the driving.  That being said, I think I might go get out of my PJs, put on some washing and take a little look around Streaky Bay.

Nick's Wrap Up:
Glad we had: Prawns for lunch (it was probably the highlight of Port Augusta, only problem is they came from Queensland!)
Wish we had: Stayed in Broken Hill for half a day
