The weather has cleared a little so we can see the town better as we drive out. We were going to stay for the weekend but we couldn't do or see much so decided to move onto Whyalla. Not a lot to see on the way, the countryside has gone back to semi desert with some big mines near the road. Whyalla has lots of mines and different processing plants around it. This is the HMAS Whyalla, next door to the Information Centre.
We are staying at Port Lowly (SA 663) a cute little fishing village where giant cuttlefish come to breed. Unfortunately it is too cold, wet and miserable to explore. We are in a free camp that you need to get a $5 permit for so it is no longer a free camp but fine for the night with toilets and a fairly firm base under Glen. Our view is great and we had a lovely rainbow over the water.
Sunset over the fractionation plant over the hill was quite spectacular.
There is also a lighthouse spinning around just down the road.
