After travelling across the top of the Eyre Peninsula through Wudinna and Kyancutta we turned southwards to Lock and then across to Cowell where we stayed the night. We had hoped to cross the Spencer Gulf by Car & Passenger Ferry from Lucky Bay on the Eyre Peninsula to Wallaroo on the Yorke Peninsula but our scheduled trip had to be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. Consequently we drove the distance staying en route at Whyalla, and then the next day journeyed via Port Augusta and Port Lincoln, enjoying lunch at Port Germein and spending the first night on the Yorke Peninsula at Wallaroo. The past couple of days we've been exploring the Copper Coast absorbing the wonderful heritage of this region. This has included the Cornish history of the Moonta Mines, riding the tourist train around the former copper mines, visiting the museum and Uniting Church built in 1865 that is still holding regular worship services in its building of national significance. We have continued to have difficulty with internet coverage but hope this will be rectified in the next 48 hours.Tomorrow we will make our way south and then head northwards up the other side of the Yorke Peninsula as we continue to enjoy seeing more towns and coastal scenery we have never seen on previous visits to South Australia.
