Wadlata Outback Centre — Attraction in Port Augusta

After reading all of the positive reviews I can only assume that we are an anomaly. We must have arrived there at the wrong time, met the wrong person on the wrong day. It just after 2 in the arvo and we were told that the kitchen had closed which is fine but to be dismissed in such a curt and off handed way left a bitter taste for us for the centre.
