Wed, 24th Feb, 2016 Barker Rocks, Yorke Peninsula, SA


Woke to the pitter patter of rain on the van – only light so far. Sent a text to David to wish him a happy birthday – will try and ring tonight.

Lyn gave my hair a trim. Now I just need a colour again!!

Chatted with Bruce and Lyn then they finished their pack-up and headed off.

Sea is calm as the rain showers passed over us.


The dolphins are back.



Made it a lot cooler 26 degrees but the breeze feels a lot cooler. Got up to date with my blog while Steve watched a couple of movies. Rain has stopped but still overcast and cool.

Climbed up to the top of the sandhill beside us to check out the view.








Went down for a fish with the squid tentacles and Steve tried with the squid jig again. The dolphins did their lap down the coastline. No takers on our lines but it was lovely sitting by the water.

Played a few games of Sequence. If it was a Ladies Tennis match – then Steve won, 2 games to 1 but then we continued on with a Mens match and I came back to level and take the win with 3 games to 2!!

A couple from Holland had arrived in their little bongo van. Chatted to them for a while then another couple from Minlaton arrived with their van, so helped them move into the spot opposite us.

Closed up a few windows as the breeze is getting quite chilly. Rang David to wish him a Happy Birthday.

After cooking and eating the last of our King George whiting I went down to see how the sunset was going at 7.30pm.


I thought I had missed it but it was only early so I went back at 7.50pm and it was still up high.


Left it 10 mins and nearly missed it – just got the top of the sun slipping over the horizon.


Managed to get a TV signal and watched Big Bang which really love now – makes us laugh, then watched The Blind Side which was based on a real person who became a famous American footballer. Missed a few bits when planes flew over and interrupted the TV signal but we got most of it.

Cooler night – just perfect for sleeping.
