This campsite is 20m away from highway.
So noisy with road trains I woke up several times during the night.
Scenes of the desert plain like the Nullarbor again between Kimba and Port Augusta.
Especially around Iron Knob, all I can see is the scenes of the Nullarbor Plain itself.
It was unfortunate that road house, motel and caravan park of Iron Knob had been already closed.
That was almost a ghost town. Only visitor information center and public toilet were there.
When people don't come around, the town won't be worth visiting.
Where there's no people coming around, there'll be no service.
There used to be a lot of people living here because it was the birthplace of Australian steel industry.
It is just like towns in the midwest of the US, which used to be busy with gold miners in the late 19th century.
The difference between big cities and isolated small towns is getting bigger.
The same is true in Japan.
I don't like to live in big cities. I prefer small quiet towns.
If we just seek for the convenience living in big cities, we might lose something important in life.
In a small town in the desert plain, I tried thinking about it.
Ran 55km and checked in at Nuttbush Retreat Caravan Park.
About 40km to go to Port Augusta.
