We woke up this morning with no soldiers around and no more war games going on. Some breakfast and we took in the coastline to the north of our camp – what a well kept secret view. It was then off to Whyalla to do some quick caches before catching up with the rest of the cachers at Kimba for a BBQ Lunch.
The last time I was in Whyalla was a kid so the place has changed a bit since then, of what I can remember. Spent some time picking up a few caches on Hummock Hill then it was time to head west.
Along the Whyalla-Kimba Road, stopped at the Vermin Proof Fence and then Secret Rocks. A spectacular view from the top and of course a cache.
It was then into Kimba to meet our our travellers and enjoy a BBQ put together by the local cachers, ThisMechiciCan.
We were olny a third of the way across to tonights campsite so the pace was increased (glad we didnt leave Adelaide with the rest of them this morning). There was a quick off the road moment when two large Mining Trucks being transported from the west came through.
The journey took us through Goyders Line, Kyancutta, Wudinna (with a huge monument to the Australian Farmer), Poochera (home of Peters Humpy), Wirrulla (with a jetty and no beach) and finally making it to Acramans Creek campsite on dusk.
It was a good night for a campfire as it kept the mosquito’s at bay. It didn’t take long before the crews that left Adelaide this morning headed to bed – they were a little exhausted. Even though we were out the middle of nowhere, we still had 3G coverage so the netbooks and iPhones were out and surfing the net abounded.
