The bowser at Cowell has probably run out digits given the way petrol is going 🙁

Had to go to the maritime museum and do a lap through an old warship , the captain wasn’t too good at reverse parking judging by how knocked around she was ImageImageImageImage

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Had a real nice feed or fish and chips from the only place in town you can get a feed - a food van parked at the beach Image

Whyalla, Port Germein, class. You must walk to the end of the jetty. Take a cut lunch.

Head up Port Germein Gorge if you want an interesting drive. Old Holden garage Yacca Main Street to the right at Murraytown, or Wilmington Toy Museum and Landrover Heaven to the left. Oh and the funky truck motel rooms at Melrose.

Had a super easy drive today , all the way from Port Germain to Clare , about 120kms ImageImage
Stopped for a while at Wirrabara , had a coffee and a sausage roll for an early lunch , bought some local art and went for a stroll around the place - very friendly locals and a picturesque town , or maybe they were just normal after the banjo pluckers at Pt Germain ImageImageImage
Heading towards the gorge and a leisurely mostly 2nd gear drive up it
