We went into the bakery in Ceduna for breakfast. It was busy as it is THE place to have casual meals and it was Saturday. While we were waiting Anna and Martin came in. During the conversation Martin mentioned that they had slept in and we discovered that we hadn't advanced our watches enough and we had slept in as well.
The day was cool again so it was comfortable riding.
We were shocked to see how dry the countryside is. It is a really fragile environment. Some of the paddocks have so little grass cover that there is drifting sand
encroaching on the arable land.
When we reached Kimba we realised it was our last chance to get some lunch. It was after 1pm so being Saturday the options were limited. Still we went past the roadhouse which previous experience has taught us only serves greasy food or curry. On our way around we found the Silo Art which is new and very impressive. We then headed to the Big Galah and were fortunate to get toasted sandwiches; the only option.
I will attach the photos tomorrow.
Accommodation is a bit pricey in Port Augusta but fortunately The Pampas Motel where we have stayed before is reasonable and had a vacancy. There is also undercover parking which was important as rain had chased us all day and was threatening. As we sat outside relaxing Anna and Martin rode in so it was a very social evening. We went to the nearby hotel for dinner and came back for coffee and more war stories.
