We left Moonta Bay on the Yorke Peninsula yesterday morning, and did a record day - over 500Ks. We crossed out of South Australia into New South Wales. It was a really lovely drive. Different from what we had been experiencing with some really lovely tiny towns:

It rained part of the day, bringing the temp down:




We passed through Clare - this is a Clare Valley Vineyard:


The town of Burra where we stopped for lunch:




****waves back****


The old train station at Mannahill:


Oh, and I have bad news for everyone, I believe Santa has taken on a new profession here in Mannahill, boy he looked hot on that machine in his old red suit!:


YEP, definitely saw a sleigh & some reindeers tethered to the old hitching rail out the back of the pub:


Oh, and don't worry, I made sure I "looked to the left & looked to the right" before I crossed the busy highway:




Doesn't appear that the rain made much of an impact:




Left SA:


& Crossed into NSW:


We had fun with the train:


Nothing but lots of containers....mmmmm wonder what's in them?


Don't worry, no more trains.....for a long time:


This fellow is just looking out for lunch:


Outback NSW


You know the town is going to be slightly larger when you see this:


As I said, doesn't appear that the rain has made much difference:


Drum roll!.............
And this is where we are:


And these two were the first things I spotted in the park where we are staying...so cute, parent bird feeding baby:

broken hill, trip no 2
