It has been quite a long drive
from Blinman here to Archaroola. We walked around Blinman revisiting our last
visit in 2007. The complete village seems to have had a make-over. There are
several places offering accommodation, a café, the hotel where we camped last
night and an Information cottage. The track was closed so we were unable to go
on the tour of the Copper mine. We left
Blinman about 10.00am with quite some apprehension in our thoughts because we
thought that the gravel road would be very rocky. Luckily about 2/3 of the 150
kms of it had been graded. Unfortunately there was still one very rocky &
rough patch which I am sure was the cause of the caravan cutlery drawer being
shaken to the floor. It could have been the contents of our refrigerator on the
floor and broken open!!

Apart from the rough road to
Archaroola the trip showed us some spectacular range country which was both colourful
and very striking in appearance. We have settled in the camp ground for 2
nights.
John was able to find and
identify the tree known as Eucalyptus Gillii
commonly known as the Curly Mallee. He collected some nuts with the hope
of striking some seeds at home.
Yes, we did enjoy wedges of
Pizza for lunch today.
