If we thought that it was windy yesterday we were mistaken. It was much, MUCH, windier today! It was very windy when we packed the car at James Well but, when we arrived at Stansbury, we realized that the cars had actually been quite shielded from the wind by the beach house. Hopping out of the car at Stansbury’s photographic viewpoint we were exposed to the full force of the sou’westerly! From our wind-blasted photo op we drove around to our first painted water tower for the day featuring a blue swimmer crab and dolphins painted by Mike Makatron and Conrad Bizjak in May 2021.

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 ... read more
