Saturday, 10/6 Point Gibson Campground to Port Lincoln Caravan Park

More venomous snakes!

     We fixed a windy breakfast of coffee and oatmeal, (the weather conditions were windy, not us) overlooking Spencer Gulf.


      After packing up the LC we took a short stroll on the beach before driving to the dunes a few kilometers away.



Now that we have sponges you can do the dishes, Kevin
Nice snake ... niiiice snake
     The drive to Port Lincoln took us through wheat and wine country, with nice farmhouses set back a half a mile from the road.

Hay there .... I know, you're all getting tired of my corny captions, too bad!
    In Port Lincoln we finally found our fish, buying enough for the next three nights. Also bought a cask of white wine. Then we checked into the local caravan park, which is right on the gulf and very nicely appointed. I call it the Hilton. Before dinner we took a longish hke to the harbor, where we could walk right up to the fishing trawlers. Eyre Peninsula has a thriving wheat growing agribusiness and a large storage and shipping capability for sending grain overseas.


Don't remember seeing that episode
     Back at the camp we cooked in the campground kitchen, I fried Orange Roughy with rice and veggies. We spent a couple hours talking to the two other couples there, a retired Aussie man and wife and two kids (26 ish) from Arizona just finishing working at a tiny resort at the northern tip of the Queensland at Cape York and now traveling the country in a rented Toyota Corolla with the back seats removed and in which they sleep. Makes our LC seem like the Queen Mary.
