24/3/26 Port Augusta & Storm near Kimba

 

    Left Port Pirie for the short drive to Port Augusta , so we can wash & shop , and get some food ready for the crossing into WA . We arrived at Stirling North , we're we've stayed a few times now , and had some lunch before heading over to shop - washing machine was already going ! The salt lakes beside the highway didn't have a lot of breeze , so it was prime for photo's . This is looking back over Stirling North and the southern Flinders Ranges . Nice also that there was some green grass - it's not usually green over here .

This is looking north with the Flinders Ranges disappearing into the horizon .

    Next day we were off again westbound , nothing remarkable with the traffic , but we were approaching this storm cell . Hadn't seen one like this in person before - it had a pronounced shelf cloud underneath it .

It was certainly letting a lot of rain out , we drove past where it had been raining when we continued down the road .


  Continuing down the road , we found a free camp at a pony club about 8klms from the highway , and better still had it to ourselves . 
  I'll skip the map today and include it next time . Cheers
