I have been waking up in a different spot almost every morning for over month and a half now. I sometimes have to remember where I was when I got up. Today I woke up to the sound of a rubbish truck 🙂

My destination today was Port Augusta and it was not a great distance. So I decided to head down to Elliston before going across. On the way to Elliston, I stopped at a site called Murphy’s Haystacks. It was an interesting place with these large granites standing there but was only covered a small area. So the visit lasted about 15-20 minutes.

It was another 80km to Elliston from the haystacks. I suppose all the little towns along the Eyre Peninsula coastline are mainly for fishing lovers. Elliston is one of those as well, there is not much happening there other than fishing. So just drove along the coastline and snapped some images of the cliffs.

From Elliston, I headed towards Port Augusta taking first the Birdseye Highway. I can’t say the scenery was bad or boring but it was kinda the same everywhere. I decided to just photographed whatever I find interesting to me. I like mountains, lines, shapes, dead things (tree I mean) and simple landscape…

I had a quick stop over at Kimba’s Whites Knob Lookout. It wasn’t much here neither but just wanted to get out of the car. Standing on top of the lookout was the Edward John Eyre sculptures. After Kimba, another stop today was Iron Knob. you can easily tell the iron in the mountain as its colour is just like rust.

Arrived at Port Augusta shortly after 4pm and the first thing was going to supermarket. I didn’t have much to eat all day so was kinda hungry. Made myself couple of chicken and avocado sandwiches… yum

There seems to be a few things I can’t resist taking pictures of and one of them is jetty. The first few photos I took since I arrived here were the jetty here in Port Augusta. After that, basically just sat in the car and do what I do most days… look through my images, process some for the blog and some for our (Greg and I) laptop’s wallpapers, and write this blog. It usually takes me a couple of hours to do all these things.

Now I am about done so next will be bedtime.. zzz

Nite nite all xox
