South: Ravensthorpe to Stirling Ranges National Park
I didn’t want to leave Ravensthorpe this morning without getting a photo of the artwork on the silos. So, we parked on a side road and I walked back a few hundred metres to get the shot. They don’t appear to realise that there needs to be a viewing place where people can easily get […]

Travels with the Winnie: Day 90
Eucla to Roadside Rest Area (just East of the Eyre Bird Observatory turnoff) This rest area is really named Roadside Rest Area, so what can we do!
