Day 15. To the Outback. Port Augusta - Glendamo 26/05/2015

Left Port Augusta this morning to take the Stuart Highway north west.  The caravan park was full last night and one by one the caravans departed quite early to many destinations.  Our journey was going to be 285 ks to Glendamo for an overnight stay.  The road was climbing steadily and we actually hit a couple of steep rises.  Travelling was affected by a fairly strong wind so John was driving to conserve fuel.  Saw a number of salt lakes, a few emus but not much else!
The park at Glendale is very rustic.  It is called a resort but really it is just a glorified road stop.  It was quite amazing to see all the caravans arrive after us.  We thought we were going to be on our  own but  ended up with about 30 vans on site.
Had dinner in the very rustic hotel but suprisingly we had a very enjoyable meal.
Retiring early tonight as there is no T.V. coverage, no decent water except for what is in the swimming pool which looks quite good!
Heading to Coober Pedy tomorrow and really looking forward to that stay.

The open spaces of Glendamo camping ground.

Happy hour with Rod, Jude, Don And Heather.
