It had been a cold night, and a cold and damp morning. First stop for the day was a few km’s down the road for Bill to play a hole of golf at the Mundrabilla Roadhouse. We then continued on to Eucla for another hole of golf and a coffee and then across the border at Border Village and more golf. The last hole of the day was played at Nundroo in atrocious conditions. Windy. Raining. So cold. Shortly after, we pulled into our camp for the night at Corrabie Farm. We’ve really enjoyed our station and farm stays on this trip and this one was no exception. We were met by the farmer who directed us to a nice sheltered spot. After we set up camp we headed over to the communal fire to chat and get warm. Dad asked how the farmer got in to the tourist game. It started with them renting out the shearers accommodation for short stays and then just grew and grew and grew. As well as the campers they now have bus loads of tourists coming out from Port Lincoln for the whale watching that is close by. They also have big groups of golfers each year coming through whilst playing the links. It was a great spot.
Bill and I went to bed early as it was so cold. This camping in the cold business really has bones in it.
