Mambray Creek Campground

Our grand plan was to spend the night at Mambray Creek Campground located between Port Augusta and Port Pirie in the Remarkable Mountains (sounds like a place from the Hobbit, right?). We drove to the campground and, guess what, it was just as hot here as was anywhere else...no altitude break at all. This made us very reluctant to pitch our tent.

After leaving the lush farmland, we headed past Port Pirie, toward Port Augusta and stopped at the Mambray Creek Campground. As you can see the landscape is changing. This campground is nestled in a valley in the Mount Remarkable National Park that isolates it from all outside noises. We spent a delightful night with very little rain (getting drier as we head west) and no wind.
