20
degrees this morning with lovely clear sky and no wind at the van though still
choppy on the water. Spotted the dolphins cruising past from the van as the
sunlight caught their fins.
Chatted
with the others for a while then packed up and headed off back through
Minlaton. Across the ‘leg’ to Ardrossan – the Gulf St Vincent was brilliant blue
as we came down off the hill. Should have taken a photo!! Looking forward to coming back to Yorke
Peninsula to spend a lot more time exploring and just relaxing.
Around
the top of the Gulf and down to Port Parham. Found a spot on the other side of
the camp area this time, next to fellow Queenslanders, David and Jenny from
Buderim. They had a Nissan with a camper on its back – very neat. Similar to
what Clive and Rebecca just bought but they can drop theirs off if they want to
set up for a while.
Someone
had a feed on shellfish called razor fish and left all the shells in the bushes
behind our van.
Made
some lunch and then chatted the afternoon away. They are a lovely couple – such
fun. Jenny is going into Adelaide with friends for a ‘girls’ weekend of
shopping while David is heading north for a motorbike speed trial thing on a salt
lake. Then they are going to do the Anne Beadell Highway.
Went
for a walk to check out the other campers. A lot of the people we met the first
time are still here. They have been busy catching crabs and teaching the
backpackers about crabbing too. Beautiful clear blue sky but the wind has made
the water very choppy.
The
wind has picked up so all the awnings are flapping madly. We put ours down so
we didn’t have to hear it flap all night. Rang Leanne & Rick to see where
they got too. Will see them on Sunday at Mt Lofty.
After
tea I went down to the beach for sunset – WOW – beautiful big ball quickly
descended into the water.
The
wind dropped off as we went to bed but the locals had a ‘good’ party over the
back. We had closed the windows from the cold wind so didn’t bother us too
much.
