BIG oysters
But too salty. Not as good as our local ones.Hi everyone. Well the weather has certainly changed down here. It has been blowing a gale for a few days and raining quite a bit. Also it is getting colder and colder. Not that I mind, as you all know, I hate heat. I think the cold is playing up with Rodgers arthritic joints though. He has even started taking his Glucosamine tabs again. I keep telling him that they work better if you actually take them...lol. We had 3 lovely days in Port Lincoln before heading up the East coast of the Eyre Peninsular. It is certainly a beautiful place and well worth the drive to visit. Unfortunately our timing is not good. We are forever being told, ‘you are too early to see the whales’ ‘you are too late for the fish’ ‘you should have been here last month or next month’. Guess we will just have to do it all again. Oh, just before I move on ........... guess what............. Rodger actually catch some fish. See pics as proof.
Yesterday we left the Eyre Pen and had planned to stay in Port Augusta for the night, but the caravan park was awful, so we drove in and straight
Sculpture on cliff
Along the West Eyre Coast out again. We continued down the highway and found a lovely bush camping spot (our favourite accommodation) and set up for the night. It was lovely. Just us, the birds, a couple of other campers (about 100 metres away) and TRAINS. Yes, we were camped right next to a train line. Remember in by second or third blog entry that I was on the lookout for trains. Well, at last I have seen some trains and it was fun. The drivers see us camped and wave and toot their whistle. Rodger kept laughing at me because I would get SO excited to see a train. But these weren’t any ordinary trains. They were The INDIAN PACIFIC and The GHAN. For my International Bloggers, the Indian Pacific is the only passenger train that travels across OZ and the Ghan travels the full length of OZ down though the centre of OZ. Remember that I was saying that we were looking forward to a feast of Oysters from Ceduna, well I forgot to tell you that, yes, they a big, but they are SO salty that we really didn’t enjoy them. Shame. So today we travelled down the west coast of York
Rodgers favourite
He called it Alligator Point Peninsular. It is quite similar in terrain as the Eyre, but it seems to be less populated and more remote. The main focus is on sheep stations, wheat production and tourism to the many coastal towns. Tonight we are in Marion Point which is at the end of the York Pen. It is blowing a gale, freezing cold and we are warming up with a good glass of red. Well folks, that is about it for today. We are moving on again tomorrow so I will keep you updated. Luv Di and Rodger.
