Port Augusta

The first day of winter was warm and sunny. The Arid Lands Botanic Garden is wonderful in many regards. There is a great viewing area across Spencer Gulf towards the Flinders Ranges. The visitor centre is in a lovely building mostly built using rammed earth walls. There is a good cafĂ©, a plant shop and a gift shop at the visitor centre. The plants are fascinating and there are various walks through the garden. The picture shows the leaves and nuts of a eucalyptus pimpiniana which also has fine yellow flowers. I returned to the garden at sunset to take pictures at sunset.

Tomorrow we drive across the north of the Eyre Peninsula headed for Streaky Bay
