SA. Beautiful One Day, Freezing the Next!

After leaving Robe and passing through Kingston we just have to take a photo of the Giant Lobster. It's a shame the price has gone from $65 a kilo to $105 a kilo in just 50kms!!!

Next stop Narrung, a free camp right on Lake Alexandina which is part of the system that the Murray River runs into. It was beautiful but a bit deadly seeing that both nights there we partied with neighbours and definitely over indulged.

 

 This is our view from our caravan across the lake.  I think it looks like an English seaside scene. It's Australia's smallest inland lighthouse.

A gorgeous full moon raising over the lake just great to fish by.

 

 

             We love to pose!!!

 

Each day we go for a drive exploring and we always find some wonderful sites.

This is part of the Coorong. Over the sand hills you can see is the ocean .

We cross the lake and a river by car ferry and finally after travelling 130kms we arrive at Port Elliot.

Port Elliot is up there with the best, it's half way between Goola and Victor Harbour which are both gorgeous towns with beautiful stone cottages and historical buildings. We spent Wednesday riding around Victor Harbour, no wind (amazingly) and a lovely sunny day. We're definitely getting fitter as we rode atleast 10 kms site-seeing.

At Elliots Beach Bowlo for an afternoon pick me up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That evening we took Moet, cheese and bickies out to the point to watch the sunset over Victor Harbour on one side andd Horseshoe bay the other. Only problem was the sea gulls. Steve soon got rid of them with a few well place stones from his trusty sling shot. No he didn't hit any!

 

 

Talk about perfect one day lousy the next. We woke to cold, rain and 35knot winds. Yuk!!

No worries the rain stopped and we went for a drive out to the mouth of the Murray and the barrages that separate the fresh water from the salt water. Very interesting!

This is a barrage crossing the Murray River near the mouth. There's fresh water to the left and salt water to the right. How amazing is that!










Crossing the Fleurieu Peninsular we make our way down to Rapid Bay. I'm sick of saying this but this is one of the best campsites we've stayed at! It's right on the beach with a cliff on one side and rolling hills and a long jetty on the other. We also explored a bit further afield seeing Cape Jervis and a large marina which is like a ghost town. This coastline is beautiful but so different from home with mountains going right down to the sea.

 

RAPID BAY CARAVAN PARK

Some random photos of this beautiful area, The Fleurieu Peninsular. I think you can tell we're having fun exploring!!

 This is the deserted Marina. other than the boats there is nothing there. No people, no shops or cafes, no homes It's in the middle of no where!

Next Stop Adelaide and Civilisation. I'll post that later in the week.
