Mon, 29th Feb, 2016 Port Parham foreshore, SA (sightseeing)


The extra day – Leap Year. 16 degrees at 7.30am with clear blue sky and no wind again. The mornings start off like this then the wind comes up about 11am.

Said bye to Darlene and Stephen as they are heading over to Yorke Peninsula. Steve checked out the water and said it was so clear you could see the grain silos at Ardrossan across the Gulf.

Unpacked the groceries etc from yesterday and packed the meat into the vacuum bags. Made some more pasta salad and some ‘Nuts and Bolts’. Had a clean up – carpet out, sweep and mop the floors etc.

Had lunch under the awning – if you are in the sun it is hot but in the shade the breeze is cold!!

Got up-to-date with my blog. After smoko we headed down the road to fenced off military area – wonder why there are street lights going out in the water.

Looking across the gulf but I couldn’t make out the silos. May have been easier to see with the morning sun on the white silos.

Into Dublin to dump the toilets and have a look around. In the shelter shed were ceramic tiles created by the locals telling the stories of the area and the people who lived and live here.







Found the school and another lovely old building.



Drove down to Thompson Beach, down to the southern end – just the same – a few streets of old and new homes.

Then up the northern end.


Back towards Parham then we turned off to a smaller group of houses at Webb Beach.



Parham’s history photos are in the Social Club hut but it is closed Mon to Wed so missed having a look. Along the Parham Esplanade – must be a plumber.

Quiet arvo – had to do an update for the Satellite phone and upload the blog etc.

Wind settled down early today. Rang Margaret to arrange meeting up with her again on Wednesday. Quiet night watching our favourite shows, Supernatural and X Files (that I had taped).
