Auburn, Moonta, Point Turton

Spent 2 days at the lovely little council run CP at Aurburn. Only $22 plus $3 for a cable if you dont have satellite. Very pleasant helpful staff, and good facilities.
Drove to Tarlee, good coffee at the Grasshopper Roadhouse there, down towards Gawler and back. Must remember to turn OFF the fan when driving through smoke. Farmers burning stubble - ute stank for a few days afterwards!
Huge old processing place at Seppelsfield. Beautiful old palm trees lining the road.
Then to Moonta. Surprised at how very flat the land is - grain everywhere. and so windy all day. Not good for the fuel consumption. Probably only the 3rd time I have felt the van shaking the ute around a bit. Roads are not great - need resealing! Climbed up from the plains on to more high plains. Not sure why I thought a peninsular would be 'mountainous'!!!!
Moonta is like Burra - old Cornish copper mining town. Spent a very windy couple of nights at the Port Hughes CP, and caught up with friends. One has a beautiful old Corninsh cottage so it was great to see inside one. I could live there quite happily.
Went to Wallaroo to empty the loo. Big ship in port being loaded with grain.
Down to Point Turton for Easter. Very long straight roads here but the edge of the seal is a bit rough so not keen to get off the road to let all the trucks pass!
Very pretty spot at the CP - only a small place but I think very pleasant place to stay. Tucked under a cliff and the jetty just over the road - maybe someone will offer me a fish...... or a crab even better....
Went to Warooka to get a bit more plastic pipe and some more brackets for the TV aerial. Need to get it higher for a signal - now have all of 5 channels - but wont be able to watch Downton Abbey tomorrow night - how sad. At least I can catch up on the computer!
