Port Augusta - Day 2

FLETCHER

Today we left very early from Tailem Bend all the way to Port Augusta. We drove through Adelaide.  We stopped for petrol along the way and stopped a few times for a break and at Snowtown.  It took until 2 oclock to get to Port Augusta.  We saw heaps of trains go past.  We went to the beach and walked along the esplanade which is a old train track on top of  the beach.  I went in the water and swam with a school of fish, dad said I didnt learn anything at that school, it was funny.  We had fajitas for tea.  It is going to be 38 and hot tomorrow.

We went to the beach today at Port Augusta and I found a crab.  We went to the park and it had exercise equiptment at it too.  Also we did school work, we have got a book we do our work in, it has reading, spelling and math.  I have been coloring in lots in my top model book and been writing in my diary about everyday.  I am watching my e reader in the car and drawing mooshlings.

  Today we woke at about 7 and left Tailem Bend at around 8:30 for the drive into Adelaide which is a bit of fun coming down the Adelaide Hills with the van on the back. Got into Adelaide at about 9:30 and could not believe how easy it was traffic wise on a Monday morning to get from one side to the other. I think we were in and out in under half an hour, just a bit different to Melbourne. Heading north the weather started to turn very overcast and we had patches of rain right through to Port Augusta. Stopped at Snowtown along the way for a toilet break and saw that infamous bank that sadly everyone now remembers that place for. Arriving in Port Augusta at around 2pm we set up at the Shoreline Tourist Park then headed down to the Esplanade so the kids could find some shells. They have done alot of work down here and the place is looking really good. Was a hot day with the temp at around 32c but with the rain it made it really humid. When we checked in the lady in the office said it will be worse than being in Darwin tomorrow with the temp to reach 38c and humidity levels high. Something to look forward to I guess!!!
