With Covid 19 travel restrictions and our own aging, thoughts of one last big trip to Darwin via Western Australia have been cancelled. We have sold "Henry", our 4WD, and now only have our Honda Jazz for travels. Visits to Elliston and Minnipa have been on our list for years, as the two "West Coast" postings that we turned down to go to Amata. Leaving Laura on Saturday 22 May, we travelled to Minnipa for two nights, Elliston for four nights then back to Laura via Port Gibbon (near Cowell) for two nights. We used AirBNB accommodation for each location.

We visited the nearby Yarwondutta Rock for sunset.
On Sunday we drove out to Pildappa Rock (the SA competitor to Wave Rock in Western Australia).
Both Pildappa Rock and Yarwondutta Rock have trenches built at their bases to catch rain water from them.
