Another post with lots of photos...
Sundown on the foreshore at Port Augusta
25.9.2012
You can see where Port Augusta is located on this map, at the top of Spencer Gulf...
The nearby bridge that crosses over the sea from east to west and vice versa...
The old and the new bridges...the old one is no longer in use for vehicles, but can be walked on and fished from...
Pontoon and boats,
on the jetty looking up the gulf...
I was hoping for a nice bright red sunset, but this one will do...
Big ships used to come into this wharf many years ago...some old pics can be found here
Boats...
Walkers...
Having a bit of fun after work...
The stairway up to the bridge. (I will take some more pictures from up there later)
Looking back toward the shore from the little jetty I was on...
Looking out along the jetty...
Seagulls...
Boat arriving home...

Sundown at the end of the hot day,

Love the little bit of cloud over the sun as it sunk down...
It is cooler now for a little bit then hotting up again by next Thursday.
For my overseas friends, Port Augusta and the surrounding areas experience very hot and dry conditions in Summer with temperatures that can reach up to 122F (50C). Thank goodness this doesn't always happen, but we can have up to two weeks at a time of extreme heat with temperatures somewhere between 113F (45C) and 118.4F (48C). We also dont receive much rain here, but the Australian outback does provides some beautiful sunrises, sunsets and scenery...On my side bar is The Sentimental Bloke, he shows spectacular pictures of the nearby outback if you want to have a look.
Hope you are having a lovely weekend,
