Good Morning Port
Pirie!
Low 8°c (46°F) – High 17°c
(63°F)
We had a very late night last night just sitting browsing the internet,
looking at our photos and generally not paying much attention to the time –
unfortunately that made it equally hard to get up this morning. A very foggy morning greeted with a heavy
mist over the mountains and showers frequently fell in the hour and a half or
so that it took us to get up, get packed and get moving with the rain
increasing the further we went.
This whole area is so green, a really vivid green, a testament to just
how much rain there has been here. After
thousands of km of really good roads this one was terrible making the drive
bumpy, hilly and unfortunately windy as well.
There were patches of sun occasionally, which was lovely, but all around
the horizon you could see where rain was falling and it wouldn’t be long before
we’d be driving through yet more of it.
We stopped at a large rest area/freecamp for lunch and it seems I
displeased a lady who was standing with a camera in her hand. It’s not like we parked where she was looking
but after we pulled up further along from where she was standing right at the
end of the road she walked off and got into their motorhome complaining to the
person she was with.
We arrived in Pinnaroo about 3.10pm with the sun shining and located
the caravan park. There is no caretaker
on site so we just selected a spot for the night and got ourselves set up. There are a lot of permanent resident here,
most of them appearing to be fairly young, and we were half expecting a bit of
a ruckus being a Saturday night but as it turned out it was only one of the
adjacent houses that fired up the music and thankfully turned it down fairly
early. We managed to enjoy a bit of fresh
air with the door open but boy did it get cold once the sun went down.
