Drone Videos

Here are Drone videos from yesterday.

The First is Patchewollock Silo Art

and the Second is an old farmhouse somewhere near Warracknabeal. 

Silo Art Trail

Today was exploring new territory in both SA and Victoria. I left Renmark and went down through Berri, Loxton and Pinnaroo, the across into Victoria and Underbool. Then down through Patchewollock, Hopetoun, Warracknabeal, Rosebery, Sheep Hills and Rapunyip. All places I have never been before, despite living in Victoria all my life. I followed the Silo Art trail and ended up at Stawell, where I decided to stop rather than push through to Melbourne.

I did see a huge black snake wriggling quickly to get across the road just before Underbool. I did not stop to investigate, it was a BIG snake and since I nearly run over it in the car, I thought he may not be happy to see me.

I also took some drone video but it will have to wait until I get home as it will take forever to upload from here.

Renmark SA

Arrived in Renmark this afternoon after an uneventful 400k drive from Pt Augusta. I saw some big chooks (emus) dash across the road at one stage but they were gone before I had a chance to stop and get the camera out.

Attached is a couple of Pics of Renmark. I think it would be over 30 years since I was last here and whilst it feels familiar, it is not how I remember it.

Port Augusta

I am back in Pt August after a 500km drive today from Ceduna. My purpose was to visit Ceduna and see what it is like. I have done that. Ceduna does not seem to have a lot to do and see. I had a nice pizza last night as a big thunderstorm rolled in. So decided to head back east again. Streaky Bay was nice, but it is a long way from anywhere.
Last night when having my Pizza, i was chatting to local that suggested i call in to Pildappa rocks on my way near Minnipa. It is sort of Sth Australia's answer to Wave Rock in W.A. but not as good. He also told me to look at Tcharkuldu Rock, but I followed the sign and then there was no more directions, so that had to be missed. Pics below
I also stopped in a town called Kimba and could not find any White Lions but I did find more Silo Art. 
It is about 5pm Local time here in Pt Augusta on Sunday and another big thunderstorm has just started as I got here. I think it will pass quickly.

Looking forward to some dinner and watching sunday night TV.

Ceduna

Arrived at  Ceduna about 1pm and booked a place on line.

When I found the place, it is not like the website pics, much grungier, but it is cheap and it has Wifi that seems to work. Here are todays pics below.

A storm is coming, I think it will be wild, windy and wet in a few hours.

Today I was on the road again, heading up the coast towards Streaky Bay. It is a fairly uneventful drive with not a lot to see. I took some snaps if highlights along the way, including Coffin Bay, Cumming's Monument, Lock's well, Elliston, Murphy's Haystack and finally at Streaky Bay. I got a very swish apartment at Streaky Bay because it supposedly had good wi fi, well it doesn't. But the view is good.

Port Lincoln day 2

This morning the weather was cold, windy and cloudy so I did some laundry, then I headed down to the bottom part of the Eyre peninsula, a place called Whalers's Bay.  See Pics below.

I was hoping to fly the drone along the cliffs and around the shore, but because of the strong wind, I chickened out and was not going to risk the drone being blown into the sea or the cliffs.

The sand dunes are where local outdoor-y type people surf or ski down these dunes. I just look.

I came back to Port Lincoln about 1.30 pm and the clouds disappeared and the sun came out and it became a beautiful day. Weather is so unreliable.

Back at the YHA now, I might cook dinner here tonight as they have a great kitchen.
