6 October – Ceduna to Port Pirie

The mission for today was to drive a far as possible with the goal of getting past Port Augusta. With that in mind we decided to abandon our usual time wasting ritual of visiting the beckoning tourist traps and instead resorted to taking photos of the GPS and a toilet block where we stopped for morning tea. No, not in the toilet block; there was a picnic table near there.

The GPS photo illustrates what you’re in for when setting off across the Nullarbor from Ceduna. The first turn is 1199km away.

The photo of the toilet? That was just plain amusing.

Todays plan came undone when we saw the big galah. We just had to stop and take a photo.

We achieved our goal by reaching Port Pirie this afternoon. A bit of shopping in Port Pirie buying presents for our grandchildren was our last outing for the day.
