Duddles postcard from Port Pirie

Arrived in PP this afternoon after a lovely (short...just over 2 hours) drive from Whyalla – otherwise known as Why NOT alla?
On Dan’s research advice, we stopped for lunch at the Arid Botanical Gardens just out of Port Augusta, which proved to be a delightful experience....excellent lunch, (including lemon myrtle pancakes with quandong ice cream) truly wonderful array of stunning eucalypts and other plants (who knew arid could be so gorgeous?) and excellent gift shop & toilets (the importance of which should not be underestimated).
There was a short video made in the carpark as we left, giving an example of the different interpretations of our stop off. Meg and I offered polarised views, and a rare Arid Botanical Garden male Brolga made an impressive appearance. This video will be passed on to you at some point.
So far, the accom in PP is fine (new rooms with spa baths! Huzzah!!), haven’t seen the theatre yet.

Duddles signing off for now. Xx
(ps: note Duddles has a double “d” so it’s not pronounced as Doodles....)
