Day 27

Ceduna to Port Lincoln 410kms

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThe route was to take us through more wheat areas, these too, were seriously big. There was also some pretty dramatic moonscapes, some divided by unusual rock walls, left to the sheep to look after in between vast  seeded paddocks waiting for the warmer weather to make them explode.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I travelled the entire distance without a fuel stop with an 80km range left in the tank. Today I just wanted to get to the destination. I expected at least one of those days on this trip.

Port Lincoln is a large shipping hub for wheat, a town of reasonable wealth and facilities, and has many businesses open 7 days a week, unusual for a “country” town. It is also the Seafood capital of Australia apparently.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Another claim to fame of this town is a statue of Makybe Diva, whos owner is a Tuna Farmer in Port Lincoln.800px-Statue_of_Makybe_Diva_at_Port_Lincoln
