Apr 20 Hancock's Lookout

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...
Our camp site and 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.
