Day 2. Wednesday, 19th June 2013.

A VERY cold morning greeted us on arising. Ice on Terri's windscreen and a cold walk across the grass to the en suite. Gerry was MOST grateful for the Porta-Potti in the van for overnight use.

We were able to hit the road at about 8.00 am. A short stop at the fruit-fly inspection station at Yunta. No fruit or vegies are allowed into S.A. from Vic. Therefore we had a stop at Renmark for some fruit and vegie shopping at the local supermarket. Had morning tea at a local park and then off we go towards Burra. This is an old copper mining town with an amazing history. We have stopped here a few times before and have had a good look around. The first time we stayed there was in 1984 when we did a camping trip to the Flinders Ranges with the Frequins and the Klaassens. The roads have improved immensely since then. We had lunch at Burra, dining on the obligatory Cornish pastie....beautiful.

The Cornish Pastie...a MUST when at Burra

Paxton Square Miners Cottages in Burra, where we stayed in 1984!

After lunch we moved onto a small but picturesque town of Laura which is about 212 K's north of Adelaide, on the Main South Road. We booked into the local caravan park. It is run by the local council and therefore very clean and a bit cheaper than fully commercial parks. Wandered around the town, came across the local pub so we had to have a pot (schooner in SA) of Coopers Pale Ale. This is the only  way to fly.

After our walk we sat outside for a while. Had a chat with a local bloke who puts on a blacksmithing exhibition during the season. Interesting bloke.

A clear evening which means that it going to be cold again overnight. Just as well it is nice and warm in the van.
