Melrose-Port Augusta

We were going to stop off at Alligator Gorge just outside Wilmington but the sign said unsuitable for towing vehicles so we moved on to Port Augusta put the tent up then went back to the gorge. Really glad we did as it was a must see. 2k walk took 2 hours as it was straight down to the gorge then straight back up at the end, a little rain helped keep things on the bearable side. On the way home we noticed huge thunderstorms, it was so flat we could see storms all around. Unfortunate for us we had left the tent open to keep it cool, mad race back to camp, only to be stopped by the police going over Horrock,s pass as there had been a bad accident lower down, turn around and add an hour on the journey to go through Quorn, not much petrol, never mind fill up in Quorn, closed. We scraped home and closed the tent then watched the rain pass us by. Lesson learnt.
