18/5/2022 – Wednesday – 145km

Today is leaving day after a week at Melrose, we pack & say goodbye to all the friends of KKOG. We end up getting away at around 9.30am & head south through the surrounding wheat country. We drive through Crystal Brook, a lovely well-kept town and stop at Port Broughton on Spencer Gulf for morning tea. We walk out the wharf & spot a few stingrays lazing around the shallows. Then on to Wallaroo.

Wallaroo caravan Park is on the beach & we book in then set up before heading in to town & have a look through the local museum. It has a great display of the maritime history of the area as well as the mining & railway history. The museum has so much information & the volunteers are very friendly & helpful.

Grocery shopping next before it is back to camp & an early dinner so that we can get down to the wharf & watch the light show on the side of the wheat silos at 6.00pm. This is pretty to watch & we see the half hour show until it starts over again. Back to camp, shower then bed. Another great day.
