Head west young man ….

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.
