Port Augusta Arid Land Botanic Gardens

This morning we packed up and drove to Port Augusta.

We visited the Arid Land Botanic Gardens, these are quite extensive and well labelled and maintained.  We took several walks around the garden as well as visiting the lookouts.

We also went to the Water Tower Lookout, which gave terrific views of the town and Spencer Gulf.

And then, we drove to the Barossa.  We are staying at Barossa Tourist Park in a lovely shaded sight – the shade is most definitely appreciated as we got to 40 degrees today!  Tomorrow we will go wandering around the Barossa, one of our favourite places.
