Day 5 May 5th Overland Corner to North Tent Hill (447 free camp)

On the road by 9.00 and heading 35kms north of Port Augusta for our camp tonight. Stopped for a look around Morgan on the Murray River before heading up to Burra for morning tea and then across to the highway.  On the way we stopped for a shop at Port Pirie and a very refreshing $5 shower at the BP Roadhouse at Port Augusta. Beautiful sunny day.  Found our free camp at North Tent Hill and arrived just in time to see police on the side of the road  and helicopters circling above the camp.  Found out from fellow travellers that there was an 8 year old boy missing from a homestead nearby who was riding a dirt bike and apparently got lost.  Watched the police and helicopters for a while with sirens going and finally everyone left quite hurriedly so am hopeful that he was found and in good health. While sitting around the fire a lone fox wandered through the camp, probably looking for scraps which there were none. Early to bed and even managed 2 episodes of Bold and Beautiful on catch up TV which was an absolute bonus. Very happy..
