Port Germein. S.A.

Well we have arrived at Port Germein, Forced to stay for two weeks because of S.A. Easter and School holidays. Plus we wanted to slow down anyway.
Well we could not have chosen a quieter place to stay,
Tez reckons it is a ghost town. We have seen houses but no residents.
There is one shop that is the P.O. come what may. Plus there is one Hotel. That is it.
This is an old Wheat exporting Port. The Jetty has claim to being the largest Jetty in S.A. It is 1.75  kilometres  long. Not a bad hike. They also catch Blue swimmer crabs. That have been in abundance.
The Caravan Park is so clean it is amazing, The People who own it are work aholics.
Because this state is in drought they have Tyres between each van growing succulents, and it looks so great.
We are on the south end of the Flinders Rangers, and they are something else, even though we saw them in the start of our trip they never cease to amaze me. As we drive beside them I find I can`t take my eyes off them, they are so spectacular.
We are also 25 kilometres from Port Pirie where we are able to shop. It is a very big but spread out shopping centre. You can`t walk it, you have to drive to most of it.
So far in S.A. I have found that they don`t have Shopping Centres. Shops are in the streets. You also have to have your shopping bags as they don`t give out bags you have to buy them.

We have been up to the Telowie Gorge , and Weeroona Island.
Met up with the others for the very last time on Monday, and by now they should be in N.S.W. back end.OMG cant believe it.
I have caught up with all our Emails today, blog and photos. As Tez has a bit of pain today and has spent a bit of time lying down.
Tez went crabbing for a couple of nights he got none one night and five the next . The only problem is the Jetty is so long, The next day it is playing up with Tez.
We have been driving out to all these little country towns, over the other side of the Flinders Rangers.
They are very old and very small. But I am enjoying seeing them, they all consist of wheat and sheep properties.
Today we have seen Melrose, Mount Remarkable, and Murray Town.
Before we left this morning, the park had a Barby breakfast
We have been over the Flinders again today,we went to another  lot of small towns. We mainly went to Wirrabara today for the Growers Market, It was fantastic, it was all fresh produce no junk.
Then we did a big circle and went to,Stone Hut, Laura [Beautiful, the home of C.J.Dennis The Poet.], Crystal Brook, Port Pirie to another market. Being Easter they had markets everywhere. But all food.

We had a new van come in today, it was the talk of the Park, as it was built in the States. I was the one that they invited to come in and have a look.
I was disappointed, Sandy and Johns van was much nicer.
But it even had a small bath, why I don`t know..
Off tomorrow to Stansburry.
