Port Augusta is known as the crossroads to Australia’s outback north, east and west. We didn’t find it to be a bustling or scenic spot, although our hotel on the golf course had a good view and noisy cockatoos partying in a nearby tree. We did find out the name and nature of the everpresent saltbush, and got a good view from an old water tower.
A highlight was catching up with Joy and Pete who were on a long 4wd trip through to the Oonandatta trail and beyond.
