Up the centre

SALT LAKE Today we left Port Augusta and headed north towards Darwin about 3000 km 's away. This is no doubt one of the many salt lakes that we will pass along the way. It is very interesting scenery, mainly flat with scrubby salt bush. A GROSS SIGN THAT IS ALONG THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN HIGHWAYS
WOOMERA A very desolate town just off the Stuart Highway, guess it's claim to fame is the Woomera detention centre and the home of rocket launching. There are only a few streets and lot's of housing similar to housing commission homes/units. One shop that sells groceries and alcohol with a post office next door. Reckon that the busiest place would be the caravan park with people heading north or south.
