Kadina to Whyalla

The last couple of days has been a bit warmer, getting into the mid 30s, lucky for us we missed the storms and wet weather that Victoria has had in the last couple of days. We could see the storms in the distance, but not a drop where we’ve been. Then as we head into Port Augusta we hear they had just copped flash flooding, but it must have run off as quick as it came because there was nothing out of the ordinary as we drove through.

Our first stop was at a little old town called Port Broughton, the town supports some fishing but seemed to appeal more to tourists and the retiree age group.

	The boys played in the park, they certainly get plenty of variety in the type of equipment they get to play on during the trip We went for a walk out on the jetty, and saw a heap of sting ray in the shallows

After a stop over at a road side stop just north of Port Pirie we headed through Port Augusta and back down to Whyalla where we spent most of the day and stayed the night.


	One of the favourite displays was the model of the Eyre Peninsula area with working electric model trains. We had a hard time getting Jake to move on from this display.
	The museum showed many old maritime items including items from old ships to marine life from the area. Outside was park like with bbqs, ponds and garden walks to larger memorabilia
