I really enjoyed wandering through the heritage-listed cottages, which date back to the 1930s.We then had a drive around the town, looked at the both the old and new cemeteries, where many graves had been decorated with local stone.
In the afternoon we took a short 17km drive on a basic track, to view the western-most point of Lake Torrens.
"... this hauntingly beautiful salt lake, which is of great significance to the indigenous peoples that roamed these remote arid lands during good seasons."
We stopped along the way for a simple picnic near what we thought was the lake, a few salt-crusted puddles of water that were very sparkly.
One of the highlights of our lunch stop was gettin a great look at a beautiful goanna. Gorgeous!
After our lunch, we realised the proper lake was a further 3km away, so we drove further and arrived at the broader lake bed.
We halted at the designated spot, cos driving on the lake bed was subject to a $10,000 fine.
