Port Augusta

 
 

Another day in the car, but we stopped for lunch at Woomera where rockets were launched. One of the sad stories was that Germany bombed England with missiles. So, Britain and Australia decided to build their own rockets during World War 2 and used Woomera to do this. We walked around the museum and saw lots of rockets and missiles – a few of the names were Black Arrow and Black Knight.

We stopped at Port Augusta (instead of Quorn) and it was cold and rainy. Today we to the movies and saw Ice Age 3 while I ate chicken chips.

Tomorrow we are driving to Broken Hill (NSW).
