Day 56: Wed 18 Jul – Woomera to Port Augusta

5 (0) - 19 deg C

Drive: 179km; Total towed: 6507km 

We were on the road earlier than usual (before 9am) as G&Y had their truck booked in at Port Augusta after lunch to have the wheels rotated. We arrived at Discovery Parks Port Augusta site #18 about 11:30am, set up, and went shopping. And, it was a rather large shop as we had not shopped for real since Alice Springs. 

Lunch was had after the shop then Wendy settled into some Army work and Greg did what he always does - went for a ride!  

Pre-dinner drinks were had whilst watching the highlights of yesterday/last night's TDF. We were then going to attend the Parks sausage sizzle, but it started at 6pm and the TDF ended at 6:30pm.  

A bit of TV and blog updating and it was time for bed.

Do they have to give way to the humans, or vice versa?
