This year as part of my daughters christmas present, I took her on a fossil trip. We left on Sunday at 11:30 am. Leaving north on hwy 1 for about 20 miles before getting onto the M20 out to Gawler. From Gawler cotinued to Kapunda. This is through rolling farm land with the golden crops that have not yet being harvested yet. At Kapund we stoped to get a photo of the map Kernow. Or knowen as Son of Cornwall a 8 metre statue made of bronze. This was the first mining town in South Australia. Being a holiday here nothing was open so we went down to Eudunda for lunch which was another one of our early towns. At a later date I will tell you about these town as they play an important part of our early history.We rode straight through to Overland Corner. At about 20 miles before Overland Corner, one of our wild life call a kangaroo that had not read the rule book about when it is fair to atempt to cross the road. They are surpose to be nocturnal and this about 2pm. We were travelling at about 70mph and he was travelling at about 30mph straight out of the scrub. I braked hard, he braked hard. My heart rate had gone through the roof. Sensing my stress he did a u turn, I was happy and I think he was happy that we didn't meet personally. Overland Corner has an old mine where it is easy to get fossils which Kemeri wanted to get.
