We are on the move

We left Auburn and headed to Port Augusta.  Stopped for coffee at Snowtown. This is the town famous for the "Bodies in the Barrels" now a movie.
Sad town known only for this.  Onto Port Germein for lunch and a look at the longest wooden jetty in Aust. Parked up for the night behind the Pt. Augusta Footy Club along with dozens of other motorhomers and then onto Woomera, defence force town, sadly, almost ghostlike, full of empty housing,  then to roxby downs. Would love to have done a tour of BHP Billiton Mine, but would have to have waited a week to do so. We have now arrived at Andamooka in the Opal Fields.   The sky is blue and the weather is sunny so looking forward to getting out and looking around tomorrow.  One of the local miners has offered us a guided tour of his mine tomorrow.
