" "By Allah, it's hot." "Why Allah? You should blame the Devil." "
We broke down not long after leaving Bordertown. All I am going to say about Murray Bridge is there's very little to do....Heading West from Bordertown thing start to get very flat very quickly, as in it is so flat and bare (something that became very common afterward, but here it was still a novelty for me). The colours though were quite beautiful.
We stopped a couple of times on the way to Whyalla, in Port Pirie overnight, where we really started making use of the beautiful thing they had in South and Western Aus- overnight lay-by's/campgrounds.Then we stopped again in Port Aususta to honor another recommendation of 'the book.' The water tower lookout point was actually quite brilliant... and a really good view.
My abiding memories of Whyalla were the red colour of rust and midges. It was beautiful though. We stayed in a quiet carpark on the beach just out of town... yes we really did sleep in the car a lot.
The beach there was incredible. The water was crystal clear and really shallow. At low tide it created sand banks you could walk through the shallows to. And the sunsets were beautiful. The colouring of the area was I think due to the iron industry and made any sunset photo even more spectacular!
The midges were less pleasant. Mozzie spray was purchased soon after. I was covered in bites.
