Ruins at Caltowie – a family history location

We did more family history exploration at Stone Hut and Laura (including the cemetery where some ancestors were at rest).

Silos at Port Pirie – it was nice to see and smell the salt water after 2100km across Australia.

The old Port Pirie Railway Station.

We then searched for a petrol station in the suburbs of Port Pirie. It is one of the few times in my life I was temporarily unsure of our precise location though other family members exaggerated and said we were lost.
