South Australia odyssey ends.

After 65 days sojourn in SA, we finally crossed the border into WA around 500 ks into the Nullabor Plain.

We have enjoyed discovering the many faces of SA, from our early days in Robe and along the Coorong and the coastal towns on the Fleurieu Peninsula, to the not so big smoke of Adelaide and the scenic Adelaide Hills where we spent such a great time with Sophie and Tim and their children. Then on up north to the doorstep of the outback, including the Flinders Ranges and the awesome experience of flying over Lake Eyre, down to the rugged southern tip of the Yorke Pen. with its wild ocean beaches pounded by the powerful southern ocean, to the gentle fishing villages of Coffin and Streaky Bays.

These are the things/words that come to mind when we think of our stay in SA:

Arid wide landscape
red dirt
bluebush
windy
paddy-melons
rural for-sale signs
saltbush
saltmarsh
saltlakes
salty
kitch
sparse
old limestone buildings
great pubs
bygone era
English
German












Thanks for a great stay South Australia, WA, here we come!!!
