After a leisurely start to the day we headed out of Port Augusta under a clear blue sky, knowing the coming days would see us experiencing cooler temperatures as we travelled towards home. As for our trip over here in February, we travelled via Horrocks Pass towards our destination of Burra.

We had a brief stop at Wilmington to admire the painting which was on the welcome sign at the town entry. It was a painting by 14 year old Joel Plevin in 2012 titled "Old Gunyah Shed". Our morning tea stop was Orroroo and it seemed a number of other caravanners had decided to make it their stop too. It seemed many were headed north to the Flinders Ranges, just as we had done a couple of weeks earlier.

Jamestown was our next stop, which we found was the birthplace of Reginald Murray (RM) Williams. There was a carved wooden bust of him along with five storyboards detailing his life story at a roadside stop. We found a nice place to stop along side the Belalie Creek to prepare lunch in the caravan and after that Lucinda fed the ducks. Nearby was a nice park which had a children's playground and BBQs, but also an enclosure housing a restored 1907 German built 15cm Krupp cannon. It was captured by Australian troops during a WWI battle in Palestine and is one of only two of its type in Australia, with the other being in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

As we drove on towards Burra there were many wind turbines along the ridge which ran alongside the road and they were turning quite briskly in the wind. The Burra Caravan Park was quite busy when we arrived, with several vans queued ahead of us. Our site is very pleasant, backing onto the Burra Creek where we could watch the ducks and just a short walk into town. We went into town in search of some ham to put on our pizza, but being Sunday afternoon in a small country town, that was a bit of a long shot. However surprisingly we did meet a lady walking her horse and she told us it had been "naughty" by breaking the fence and so she was moving it to respite. Dinner was a vegetarian pizza on the Weber with topping of sun dried tomato, black and green olives and mushroom, plus cheese.

Tomorrow we plan to do the famous Burra Passport tour.
