Kimba
Jewelery ShopFrom Wilmington- 20 Km South of Port Augusta
When we left Wudinna we stopped for Lunch at Kimba, were you a greeted by a giant Pink and Grey ( see photo) it advertised a jewelry shop, and I felt very tempted….Can u imagine this in Hay Street in Perth? or in Victoria Street in Bunbury?
We arrived here on the 15th Dec and are planning to leave for Clare tomorrow 18th Dec.
I damaged my back and we had to stay longer then what we anticipated, as I had to visit a chiropractor in Port Augusta.
When we entered the town of Wilmington, all we could see was large red ribbons on all the houses and all the trees. it certainly was pretty. When we enquired about this, we were told that it was because of Christmas, and it was a celebration. of life.
The weather is much warmer today and we have 31 degrees, and a light storm
To get to Wilmington you drive along the old Adelaide Rd via Horrock Pass, a very adept name for the road as it is winding and twisting, as well as climbing and going down, a very beautiful
The Pass
Entry to the Pass drive, just beware of semi trailers, as there is only a few inches between you and your van and the truck, fortunately one has to go slow, so there is time to judge the situation, unfortunately, I could not take a photo of the hairpin bends, as I cant drive and take photos at the same time, however, I did manage to take a few when it was safe to stop.
Cost of fuel here is $0.69 for LPG.
