Port Augusta - Day 4

---

Today dawned overcast and cold and we stayed in bed until 8am. After breakfast we went up the road to Quorn to check out tomorrow’s rail trip and then down the road to Port Augusta. We first visited Wadlata Heritage Tunnel but it was so cold inside we only stayed a short time but what we did see looked fantastic. It traces the history of South Australia from the days of Primeval Forest, the Aboriginies, European Explorers and the mining companies. We had lunch in the café by which time the sun had come out and warmed us up. We next went to the Arid Lands Botanic Gardens and enjoyed some beautiful walks in the sun - no wind either. We returned to our cabin to find the owners dog out on the main road so we picked him up and brought him home until the Caretaker turned up.

Quorn
Lovely old town that hasn't embraced the so called 'modern world'

Grey Nomad
We were told that there were 150,000 Grey Nomads roaming Australia in their caravans!!
