Baird Bay to Yunta
We have a lot of kms to cover today so not much sightseeing. Stopped at Murphy’s Haystacks on the way to the main highway this morning. Amazing huge granite rocks sticking up in the middle of the farmers sheep paddocks, remnants of an ancient ocean apparently.

Hit the Flinders Highway for a while then turned east to
cross over to the Eyre Highway now it feels like we are on our way home sadly!
Followed the Eyre Highway to Port Augusta where we had lunch on the river bank.
Drove through Orroroo and saw the big galah he was huge. Passed through the
Flinders Ranges via Horrocks Pass, first time we have any type of decent hills
and bends for the whole time.
Stopped just outside Peterborough to see a 500 year old red
gum tree. An enormous old tree and still
looks healthy. Peterborough looked like a very nice town.
Can You Spot Kerry near the tree???In hindsight we should have stayed there tonight.
On we went another 85kms to Yunta. Stayed by the railway
line in the park with a couple of oldies. Only 2 24 hour truckie roadhouses here.
Paid $4 for a shower at the roadhouse and looking forward to getting to Broken
Hill early tomorrow.
