1960s Big Lap - Spencer Gulf S.A.

16,618 miles in an unbreakable 1962 EK Holden towing a 15' Van. "To Port Augusta, around the head of Spencer Gulf and South by way of Whyalla with its shipyards to the wheat centre of Port Lincoln. The Eyre Peninsula is not one of the most attractive spots and the dryness of the area is brought home to travellers by the enormous pipeline carrying Murray River water some 400 miles across country to it" Commentary and Photos: Murray S Upton
