Just by the road out from Kimba, we saw this grain silo and pulled over to admire this beautiful and amazing work of art.
Just two ordinary folks with a love for nature and culture wanting to share our experiences through photos and narratives

One of the odd things that travellers come across in Australia are the giant replicas of some iconic Aussie figure or famous product of the respective town. Kimba is well-known for its Giant Galah, the ubiquitous cockatoo of the Australian outback.
The route from Port Pirie to Kimba was going to pass Mt Remarkable National Park so we decided to drop by for a short visit. Day pass to enter was $15.00 per vehicle. There was time for only one walk and picnic lunch before continuing on to Kimba.
We took the A1 on the Princes Highway to Port Pirie, passing through towns with interesting names like Two Wells, Dublin, Port Wakefield, Bumbunga, Snowtown (lots of wind turbines) and Crystal Brook. Our accommodation was the Hillsview Caravan Park
We crossed the VIC/SA border on the A8, passing through towns with interesting names like Bordertown, Coombe, Keith, Tintinara, Tailem Bend, Coonalpyn and others. In Adelaide, we stayed at the pleasant, retro-style Jasper Motel, one of the few non-caravan park accommodation of our trip. It was our first time in Adelaide, so we stayed a couple of nights to enjoy the city.
