Another long driving day today as we rounded the corner that is Port Augusta and headed south onto the Port Eyre peninsula. We got distracted from our objective not long after setting off. Coming through Wilmington a line up of Series Land Rovers at the side of the road caught our attention and we had to stop and investigate.

The owner of the toy and model museum was happy to show us around his collection including full size and miniature Land Rovers. We ended up “losing” an hour and a half happily browsing and discussing the collection. Well worth stopping by if you’re in the area.

It’s always good to meet another enthusiast for the marque and there are some real gems amongst his collection and not just Land Rovers either.

The rest of the drive was fairly steady with a stop for provisions and beer at a supermarket and a steady drive along good roads that cut through the bush occasionally coming close enough to the coast to give sea views.

Tonight’s stop is at a commercial site at Tumby Bay so we can get some washing done, have a shower and so on before heading into the more wild camping again tomorrow. We need to stop at Port Lincoln to see if we can get one of the limited camp spots at Memory Cove.

We met a fellow Brit at the camp site who is cycling around the world, he has made it to here from Perth in 4 1/2 weeks which is pretty impressive in my book !  He has his own site: http://www.peterpedals.co.uk/
