Great Places To Visit.

South Australia is filled with beautiful scenery, and interesting towns. Some we have visited lately are: Quorn-Historic Old Ghan Rail Line,  Port Augusta-larger town for shopping,Port Germein-longest peir, Melrose-quaint shops-Mt. Remarkable, Port Perie-Industrial town, larger town for shopping also. We are staying at Beautiful Valley Caravan Park in Wilmington whilst visiting this area.  Older caravan park with only 3 1/2 star rating, but don't be put off by that. Whilst the amenities are old, they are clean and tidy and functional. We are enjoying this cute little park with it's resident  "lawn mowers", a small mob of very friendly sheep and a miniature pony called Snowy. Great place to stay for families, animal lovers, peace and quiet, central location to the above towns, etc, etc. We have a caravan so a powered site was all we required. Cheap at $25/night for 2 adults. Would recommend this park if you don't mind older facilities as we don't so long as t...

If you like me have not been to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia, then you are missing out.....big time! I had seen photos etc of the area, but not actually been here. So glad we put it on our "to do" list! We are staying at Wilpena Pound Caravan/camping/resort. There are limited powered sites here. We have a 24ft caravan, even more limited sites. So a word of warning: If you plan to bring your over 20ft caravan/motorhome etc here, ring first and check availability. If you don't want a powered site, or you are camping, then it's not so hard to get in, except perhaps for school holidays.  You decide. Worse comes to worse you can try Rawnsley Park Station or one of the other stations in the area that take caravans and travellers. Or you can go to Hawker Caravan Park. It's very nice and you could visit the Jeff Morgan Art Gallery while you are there. That's a definite must do by the way even if you're not staying there. Anyway I digress. Wilpena Pou...
