South Australian Road Trip
I was inspired to take a road trip to South Australia on my Holidays. Naturally I took my planes and camera gear to get some footage of the journey. Along the way I visited the copper mining towns of the 1800's. It was at Burra SA where my Great, Great, Great Grandfather Joesph Harry arrived in 1860 to work the mines.
Like all good road trips I had my share of emotional ups and downs, breakages and saw some amazing sights. I learned lots about the history of SA along the way. There was a very strong caravaning community out on the road and I made a few new friends on the way.
