and a tide clock as well
 

Murray Town pub deserted town on our way to Mount Remarkable

Mount Remarkable pub in Melrose


Sharon driving past a Kangaroo, she didn't hit any either


this was an awesome place to visit, was well with the steep long drive especially as I wasn't driving



 

               Wilmington on the other side of Mount Remarkable,       and more lovely buildings



another long drive to Hancocks lookout but well worth it
 
 


 
Mambray creek at Mount Remarkable on the opposite side of Alligator Gorge


 
We had visitors while we had our picnic lunch near the homestead ruins




 Another great day spent exploring this great outback area of SA\.
It's been a great week here in Port Augusta,
