to Port Pirie


This morning we left Hahndorf and drove north towards the Flinders Ranges. On first leaving Adelaide the landscape was pretty flat ,dry and scruffy with lots of glasshouses. Some of them appeared to be ok and had stuff growing in them, but many looked unused. Further up there were quite a few chook farms. As we got nearer to Port Pirie the landscape became much nicer, with lots of farms, growing wheat, raising sheep, etc. We arrived at Port Pirie about mid-afternoon and booked into the caravan park for 3 days. At the information centre on the way into town we booked in for a tour of the Port Pirie Smelter tomorrow. The town is quite large, population about 15,000... there's even a Macdonalds!!!
