PETERBOROUGH - POPULATION: 1,689

MT BRYAN HOTEL

SUN 31.5 - MON 1.6.2014: We woke feeling rested, ready and rearing to break our all time driving record and we did, as we drove the 6kms further on to our next free camp at Mt Bryan (population 137)! Had planned to support the local community, but the pub is only opened on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We travelled a little further the next day to Peterborough Rest Area. Peterborough sits on the intersection of the East-West railway linking Port Pirie and Broken Hill, and the North-South railway linking Adelaide eventually to Alice Springs via Quorn. The District Council, with funding from the three tiers of government and recovery of the Eurelia line, have subsequently established the Steamtown Heritage Rail Centre, with SA's first Sound & Light Show.
