Port Augusta to Woomera



Just 3km outside Port Augusta is the ARID LANDS BOTANICAL GARDENS, and as this is a short driving day, we take a guided tour and have lunch  there too!


here is a small taster of of the garden they have created from native Australian plants.

Arrive in Woomera, in time to walk to the famous museum, along near deserted streets lined with many different sorts of gum trees . Tried to buy post cards of the rockets, but the PO is not open in the mornings !!
