Spuds Roadhouse to Port Germain - 245km
Yesterday after leaving Roxby Downs I travelled back down Olympic Way and stayed over night in the yard of Spuds Roadhouse which is at the intersection of Sturt Highway and Olympic Way. On the way back I drove to the town of Woomera. The town has been open to the general public since 1982 and is inhabited by Australian defence force staff who work at the nearby base.
Today I reached Port Augusta at lunch time and found a nice place by the water to eat my lunch. Later in the afternoon I drove to the little town of Port Germein which is about 35km east of Port Augusta and found a little caravan park to stay for the night. It is right next to the water and I took Oscar for a walk along the pier which is one and half kilometres long - the longest wooden pier in the southern hemisphere. Apparently in days gone by Port Germein was the main grain port in Australia.

Lunch time by the water in Port Augusta. It looks cold but it was actually 27 degrees.
