What a brilliant morning. What a lovely place to wake up (mind you waking up any place is good...)
However, a bit of perspective... 'Behind' us and to the west of the Point is the Port part, really long (un)loading jetty for oil and a fractioning plant to refine oil and LPG... plus serious fuel storage...
We, however are enjoying looking east, and in no hurry to move on... but eventually do! Through Cultana Military Training Area... Refuel at Port Augusta; nicer place that we expected.

First detour Port Germein - old place. We have not particularly mentioned that we have been driving through enormous grain fields and crops.
All the ports were founded to ship the grain... once upon a time. Now it is very 'bulk handling' and concentrated at the major ports, including Whyalla, Port Augusta, Port Pirie etc
Some pretty places worth a visit. Wallaroo was a surprise - an old place ... but with new marina and multi storey apartments....

We are following the coast as usual, but headed for Point Turton... sounds nice, is tucked in nearly at the south west corner of the Yorke Peninsula. And that leaves us tomorrow for about 260km (plus any new detours) up the eastern side, round the corner at Port Wakefield, and on to Salibury Heights.

Turns out Point Turton is delightful - and a cheap CP at $23 powered...
