More from Port Augusta

Today we woke up, get ready pretty quickly then went down to the foreshore again. We parked on the other side of the bridge though and walked accross the old bridge (which is now just used as a walk bridge). The sun was shining and the water looked as smooth and shiny as glass. We didnt see any dolphins but we seen some people bathing their horse (which interested Zach to no end) we also seen lots of ducks and seagulls.

We walked all the way accross the bridge and the beach then upto the park, Zach played at the park and I did a bit of a "workout" on the exercise equipment while Brent played with Zach. Then we walked into the city centre and sat at a cafe and had a nice cold drink (the boys had choccy milkshakes). Then we walked all the way back to the car after playing on the sand for a little while.

We saw a beautiful old shipwreck by the edge of the water (see photo) Im not sure what boat it was and when it ended up there but it looked great!

When we got back to the caravan Brent begun to feel really unwell so he had a sleep while Zac and I played in the dirt outside for a couple of hours. When he woke up we all relaxed around the van/outside in the sun for a few hours then Brent decided he wanted to go up to the local attraction "water tower" to watch the sunset. It's a beautiful old water tank tower that has been turned into a viewing platform/room that looks out over the entire Port Augusta township. It is also the best place to see the sunset from, which is what Brent really wanted to see. I must say I am so glad we went up there because the sunset was just spectacular! The oranges, yellows and reds were just beautiful. The sun set over the most beautiful mountain range and reflected on the water in front of it. It was absolutely amazing.

Tomorrow at 10:30 am we are going on a cruise up the Spencer Gulf, which im sure will be brilliant, after that we are contemplating going to "Wadlata" the outback centre and taking a look through their expo.

a road train going over the bridge. The water was so glassy and perfect!

Just as the last bit slipped behind the mountain, its amazing how fast it goes down you can see it moving!

Looking over the township of Port Augusta, aren't the mountain ranges (the Flinders) in the background beautiful?
