Saturday 27th - Largs Bay to Port Pirie

Left hotel around 9.30, heading up the coast. First stop was St Kilda, a small coastal town. Plenty of mangroves and a giant outdoor playground, with a large slide and flying fox. Continued on up the coast with a short detour into Port Wakefield, which had many nice old buildings. Next stop was Moonta where we went on train tour of the old copper mining area which was operational from the 1860's to 1920's.  We had a quick stop at an old  miners cottage for some photos and went out to Moonta bay to check out the sea view. Wallaroo was next with its huge grain silos and large chimney left over from the copper mining days. From here we went through Kadina and Port Broughton before ending up in Port Pirie for the night.
