Left Penong and drove to the Pink and Blue Lake , this is where salt water is dehydrated by the sun and salt is mined.
Then on to Ceduna and the last two holes on the Nullarbor golf course. I finished with a score of 128 and a certificate to prove that I did it.
Then through Wirrulla, Cungena, Poochera, Minnipa, Yaninee, Pygery, Wudinna, Kyancutta , all small villages around large granaries , this area is largely agricultural growing grains which are being harvested now. We camped just down the road , free camping in a farmers front yard.
this is an old grain farm but the house and the surrounding buildings are not being used. Meet the young farmer who owns this land. Has 6000+ hectares in wheat, barley, canola and peas. the old house is where his grandfather was born, four generations on the patch. Wudinna has a large granite sculpture - Australian Farmer
Beautifil sun set this evening.

Off from free camping and on to Kimba, half way across Australia.
Again grain fields, but closer to Port Augusta there are iron ore mines, one being Iron Knob.
Arrived at 1:30 and finally got a hair cut befor we went to stay at the Big 4 caravan park.
Hot in high 30,s in late afternoon, but has cooled down by 9 PM.
