Called into to see the Water Tower lookout in Port Augusta first - a great view of Spencer Gulf and Port Augusta then headed down to Whyalla. Had morning tea at the Whyalla Wetlands Lake where some men were sailing remote control yachts around the lake - very relaxing. Had lunch overlooking the lovely Whyalla Foreshore - the tide was out so it was a lovely walk out to the sand bar.

Don't know if this goes back to you Sue, lovely pics of where you are and have a beautiful happy travel... Many years ago 1966 to 1968... Jim and I travelled where you have been and thoroughly loved it... We had Dean and Tan with us then, when they were little... I can imagine a lot has changed. love Dawn
