General comments
Blinman is an historical copper mining town in outback SA. Whilst mining has not been a part of the hamlet life for some time it still survives and offers some excellent attractions such as the 'Cook Outback' and Land Rover Jamboree. The group stumbled across Blinman during the 'Cook Outback' competition weekend and found it to be a fantastic experience of Australiana. Spend some time talking to the competitors and soak up the street atmosphere .... Remainder of the content is available on the CampGroundCorner CD
