Week Three Day Sixteen

The big lobster at Kingston S.E.


The car ferry to Wellington


One of the "salt flats" in the Coorong.

The tent was wet when we woke up this morning, but thankfully from dew, not rain! Yea we have had two dry days!!!!!!


We had a long day ahead of us in the car as we did not make it too our intended stop yesterday, so we spoilt ourselves and had Breakfast at the BP garage/ takeaway/restaurant/fishing tackle. (The place is so small they have to double up).


Our first stop was to take a picture of the "Big Lobster" at Kingston S.E. Did we not say that we where not going to stop today!!!!!!

We drove through the Coorong which was beautiful. It looked like large salt flats all around us, if we only had time to stop and explore. We are beginning to realise that 3 months is not enough to time to tour Australia. We cannot see and do everything we want to see.

Where we camped last night was just up the road from Piccaninnie Ponds, if we had only had our snorkel gear (still to buy) we would have stayed there and gone snorkeling..... again time!

Anyway we stopped at Salt Creek for a drink and some lunch and then of course a while later stopped and took photographs. My little camera has died........... Luckily John has his.

I was reading through information that I had and we decided (nothing is set in stone) that we would go to Kangaroo island tomorrow..... mmmmm..... we reset the GPS system and headed in another direction. I directed John to a Wellington, when we turned into the road we where notified by the GPS that we needed to proceed to the ferry. Ferry, what ferry? The map book doesn't mention a ferry!

1 km down the road we come to a stop, behind 5 other cars waiting for the ferry. It is a 24hr free ferry service for people wanting to get to Wellington and beyond. Great! The ferry arrived, we drove on and not even 5 minutes later we where driving off. Quite exciting really.

We stopped at an information place in Strathalbyn, they where lovely. On their information we quickly changed our minds about going to Kangaroo island....too expensive. But we have ended up in Victor Harbour. The caravan park is lovely and right on the water. we are going to stay another night to recharge our batteries.

So off exploring we are tomorrow! (and to buy snorkel gear)

Hope's Blog.......... At salt creek today, they had big fish heads stuck to a fence. They were covered in ants. The ants where eating all the bits off. Mummy says they were Mullet. I also made some friends at the caravan park. We played in the park, and with a beach ball and on the jumping cushion. It was good fun.
