Day 5. 22 July - Port Pirie to Kimba, SA
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.

A must-do for travellers arriving in Kimba......take a photo!
Another claim to fame for Kimba - the midpoint of the Australian continent
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.
Mt Remarkable NP is very popular with hikers
On the 2.4 km Daveys' Gully trek, with views of the distant granite cliffs
Despite the dry and stony terrain, there was the occasional tiny but pretty flower
Making sure you do not feed the friendly wildlife such as the Kookaburra
Our base for the night was the unremarkable Kimba Roadhouse Caravan Park!
