We left Burra and travelled on towards Port Augusta. Our trusty Camps book advised of a nice camp site a few km before Port Augusta at
Wilmington. After a 7km dirt track, we were getting a little worried about finding some where nice, when all of a sudden the track opened up to a glorious 180 degree view. It was one of the best views I think I've ever seen. Apart from the slow drive in, this camp site was great. No toilets or water, but we're getting used to that now.

Here's the map that was on site at the lookout |

What a nice story about how the lookout got its name |

Wow, what a view... |

Nice view Princess! |

The smell of field mice was great entertainment for the dogs |
The following day we drove through the mountains and on to the flat land near the coast. This provided a terrific "reverse" view of where we had been the night before.
don't the green mountains look as if someone had creased a tissue and then laid it down? that's how I described the mountains to my friends when I was there :)
