We at currently still travelling with the Jacko's & Linda & Tayla so we met up at the Coober Pedy sign bright & early and headed off. The advantage of staying in a motel for a couple of days is we can shower & take our time leaving as we don't have the whole pack up of the camper to do.
The drive to Spear Creek was an uneventful one with nothing to see. Mostly due to the rain. We have not seen rain or clouds for 3 weeks so we can't complain about having some on our way home. It's getting us back into Melbourne weather.
Spear Creek is a sheep station about 20km outside of Port Augusta. This sheep station is on over 20,000 acres and the little camp ground sits along the creek on the property. We had heard not much positive about staying in Port Augusta itself so found this alternative via the SA Farm Stays website. Beautiful, quiet camp which allowed us to have fires. It rained for the first couple of hours of being there but once the rain stopped the fire cranked up and it was lovely. We even had a little flushing toilet in a tin shed which had a resident Scorpian & Red Back Spider, but they kept to themselves.
Slowly heading home, tomorrow it's off to the Broken Hil region for a couple of days of sightseeing.
