We left Blinman and opted to go through the Ranges to Parachilna, we had a brief stop there for a few photos.
Whoever thought up the art work there, was very clever.
Me not being so clever, didn’t realise I had the metal camera props turned around the wrong way, till I looked at the photos back in the car. oh well, just pretend I’m left handed for these shots, being a tad OCD, it’s annoying me every time I look at these two photos. ha ha
But how about that train fence and the sky !! Love it.
Next stop was Quorn, where the steam train had just pulled into the railway station, with tourists from Port Augusta. The trip is a very popular attraction for the town.
Now in a go slow mood, we were only about 10 klms out of Quorn, when we pulled into a nice little area, just to enjoy the sunny afternoon.
We hadn’t been there long and the steam train passed over the bridge on the rail above us.
I edited this photo to black and white, as you could hardly see the train from the glare of the sun. however I was able to get this pic as it rattled on down the hill beside us.
The next day we drove on to Port Augusta, did some shopping, then not sure whether to go South or West, we pulled up at the road junction and camped there for the night.
Ok decision made, West it is, had enough of the cold South. That afternoon we arrived in Kimba, half way across Australia.
We are camped at the RV park, a very popular area near the showground. The amenities are reasonably new, with a huge modern camp kitchen. Murals on the buildings and silos that are lit up at night
Out for a drive we went up to the lookout Where there is a nice view, it is so green at the moment. There is also some small rock caves in the area.
The RV park is one of best we’ve stayed in, with a park beside, that has been planted with different types of gum trees, so an afternoon walk among the gum trees, was in order.
Last night we drove up town to see the silos lit up.
The weather has been beautiful lately, so this afternoon we went for a walk up town, and had coffee in the sun at this great little venue. Inside a huge warehouse there is working craft shops. one of the most unique we have seen. Clean, neat, plenty to look at, or buy, but not overcrowded . The owners came up with the idea of putting shipping containers inside, to display the different crafts and collectables in.
Not sure when we will leave Kimba, as we are enjoying a few days of doing, not very much. Night night, for now,
