South Australia 11 May 2023

Well we were treated to 2.1C this morning. Darryl went for a walk up the hill beside the campground and took some photos.

Here's the hill he climbed

Our camp from the top of the hill

A nearby monument to someone who obviously loved 'Worlds End'

Heading back was this rather nice abandoned cottage.

And the Worlds End Swing bridge seems to have suffered some sort of major disaster...a flood maybe?

Up the road was a quaint little town called Eudunda. Home to Australian author Colin Thiele.



I was amazed by the number of snails in the park.

The Reimann Anvil Sculpture in the Railway garden

With family names

Silo art



We headed west to Port Wakefield for the cheapest fuel in the area. As we were going to the Yorke Peninsula we followed the Copper Coast highway north where we stopped for some interesting sculptures at Federation Corner on the Yorke Highway.

I didn't know Kangaroos laid eggs!!! 😉


And some history
We stopped in at Tiddy Widdy beach (Yorke Peninsular) for lunch.

It was too early to stay, so we decided to go down to the tip of the Yorke Peninsula and checked in to Marion Bay Van Park. This is the closest caravan park to Innes National Park.

Our setup looks really small on a normal van slab

There was a nice beach at Marion Bay, and it wasn't as cold. 

Very dramatic skies down here


Lots of flotsam on the beach


While cooking in the kitchen we were talking to an ex teacher, and then a couple from Darwin until 11pm...this was a really late night for us.
