After leaving Terowie we stopped at the Hallett Post Office / Coffee shop. We had a lovely chat to the postmaster about the large area he works in for delivering letters and parcels. We then went on to Burra and stopped for lunch at the Bakery. Once we had refuelled we went for a look the Burra Copper Mine and the Railway Station Museum. We arrived in Morgan later that afternoon.
