Cactus to Remarkable NP, Mambray Creek, 648km then to Adelaide

21/01/15 Wednesday 648kms.
 We woke up late due to day light saving, 8am, we had a look around Cactus, the pier & shark net was a good surprise. Then onto Penong for a B&E Toastie & Coffee.
 Next stop was Streaky Bay, we purchased some food for dinner & had a quick bite to eat on the foreshore. Streaky Bay looks like a great place to live!
We ended up arriving at Mt Remarkable around 6pm , Jen had to jump onto her Smart Phone & pay for access/camp fee online. Welcome to the 21st century.
$10 for access & $8 to camp, great value with real toilets, hot/cold showers, gas bbqs & heaps of local wild life. Nice setting as well.

22/01/15 Thursday. 368kms.
 Up at 7.30am, after breaky & coffee we went for a walk along the dry rocky river bank, saw heaps of birds, goanna, roos & massive red river gums (Wira).
We then hit the road just after 9am, stopping in Port Pirie to say hi to our friend Paula, she had to work, but we'll catch up on Saturday.
We then headed to Adelaide, stopping at a DIY car wash to give the camper a quick wash down. Then Joanne's place where we were greeted by her daughter Ansley.We grabbed out our meager belongings as we have to fly back with only hand luggage next Tuesday. 
Tomorrow we'll have a drive around Adelaide then drop the camper at BritzRentals near the Airport.
