42 Mile Crossing again and Raukkan - December 2011

A promised overnight camping trip with Veronica, Stewart, Jacob and Emily.
The wind blew ceaselessly for all of the first day and night, just on the edge of sand-blast.

The beach campsite just north of 42 Mile Crossing.


 
The coming of evening.
 


Next morning - relative calm at last.


A visit to Raukkan (formerly Point McLeay Mission),
catching up with a significant part of the Wiley history -
Rev George Taplin (John's Great-great-grandfather)
and David Blackwell (John's Great-grandfather).
 


The church on the "David Unaipon"Australian $50 note.
