SA - Port Augusta

Port Augusta is known as the crossroads of Australia. It is where the major north/ south and east/west highways meet.
We chose the Shoreline Caravan Park because of the name. We had not seen a river or the ocean for a while and the name sounded as though we might be in luck to view some water.
The park certainly was on water but we felt like we were imprisoned. There were high fences all the way around with barbed wire across the top. All the gates that led out onto the sand and the water were locked and the only way in or out was through the main gate. We had an uneasy feeling when the lady at reception told us to keep our van and car locked at all times as thieves may be around.
The park has a pool. Even though it is small it was a life saver in the 40 degree heat. The park is large with two amenities blocks which are very clean, a TV room and play area for the children.
The park is a Top Tourist member so the fee was $22.50 a night.
