More Easter Break (Part 4 of 5)

Cam & I spent a day in Wyalla. There was a huge boat that got rid of mines during WWII. The ship has been landed for some time now. Cam posed next to this key for the keys.




Wyalla was the port that all the iron ore from the Iron Triangle passed through. We saw a great large boat docking. The view from this hill was spectacular and just off the image to the left is a steelworks and coking plant.

They built a battery that overlooked the harbor and helped to protect the steelworks, built during WWII.



Many of the houses were typical company ones, two rooms, one chimney, all in a row. This photo has a "stubby pole" dead center. Since there are so few large trees, electrical lines are made from two old RR ties bound together by cement. They are set to slightly taper towards the sky. VERY South Australian.



We went on a large walk around a manufactured wetland just south of Port Augusta. The birds were a plenty including a family of black swans. Cam thought this pose was funny of me.



We wrapped up another day watching a sunset on these red cliffs. They were in an arid natural preserve, which we revisited before heading back to Adelaide. The sunset was gorgeous.
