The B56 then continues through entirely forgettable Morchard and Willowie to Wilmington. Here it becomes the Horrocks Pass Road, which joins the Augusta Highway at Winninowie. From here, it’s a short drive into Port Augusta at the top of the Spencer Gulf.
Port Augusta is Australia’s main crossroads town. From here, the Stuart Highway heads north to Alice Springs and Darwin, and the Eyre Highway crosses the Nullarbor towards Perth. The Port Augusta to Port Lincoln drive, meanwhile, heads to the bottom of South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula.
