We finally left the park and drove up the Eyre Peninsula stopping off at various places on the way.
Our favourite was the small harbour town of Cowell which have lovely old buildings.
The town is in the Franklin Harbour which has an entrance out to sea of just 100 metres. It is also known as the Jade town as many deposits have been found in the last 40years

Most of the houses are built of local stone as this one.
Our next stop was Whyalla where there is a large maritime museum. It is the 3rd largest city in South Aust and has a large seaport. It is also known as "Steel City" due to its steelworks and ship building heritage. The port has been exporting iron ore since 1903. We found a road side camp area for the night then continued in to Adelaide.
