Day 36: Whyalla to Port Augusta

Everyone is looking forward to another rest day tomorrow so high spirits taking off today. They were warned that the traffic will start to increase even further from here into PA. cold and a little foggy today so take off was a little delayed waiting for the fog to lift slightly for better visibility.

Getting through Whyalla wasn't as bad as most of them thought it would be but Jim and Jacquei took a couple of wrong turns but still made good time. Morning tea was at the junction of the Eyre Highway and the Lincoln Highway. Lots of trucks and caravans around here but we were in a rest area so all good. Short run into PA from here so nice relaxed day(or so I thought).

The riders found riding into Port Augusta a bit hairy but I think they have forgotten what city travel is like after being out in the bush for so long. Anyway everyone made it in safely and settled into the caravan park by early afternoon.

Jacquei, Collis and I went and had lunch in town before going to the movies to see The Last Cab to Darwin with Michael Caton. Great movie and most of the places he stopped at, we had visited just in the last 5 months so this made it even more enjoyable. I cooked in tonight and early to bed.
