The Red Cliffs
Known as the crossroad of Australia, it’s the interception of the major highways, Eyre Highway (from Western Australia), Stuart Highway (towards East and Northern Territory) and the Lincoln Highway (from Port Lincoln). We stayed at the Shoreline Caravan Park, unpowered for $24 (double). The other caravan park, Big4 is really expensive, $34 for unpowered site. Shoreline facility is still good, just that it looks a bit old, the entire park and caravans there look really old. Don’t know why =P It has a good camp kitchen, tv room, swimming pool, laundry and shower facility.

The place we always look for in a city, Visitor Information Centre, Coles, and Public Library. The next day we went to the Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden to see the Red Cliffs. Entrance is free, but the red cliff isn’t that red in the morning. There are guided walking tours departing from the garden’s visitor centre every morning at 10am.
We were also told at PA info centre that the garden’s café has some interesting native bush food offering. So we tried their scones with Quandong (a kind of wild fruit) jam and cream for $5.50. The scones all soggy, and only tiny little jam on it. Maybe some other things like the bush flavoured ice cream might taste better =)
We didn't spend much time in Port Augusta, as we need to go to the famous Flinders Ranges ~ ~ ~
