After Adelaide it is decided to head for Yorke Peninsula. Again it was a trip with games such as 'spot the tree' for five points or an even harder was spot the hill for ten points (All up 10 trees and no hills, Nah! only joking we did see a rise that could be considered a hill.
The arrival evening at 'York's' now we are locals!!! thats what they call it anyway. The landscape is very harsh on the toe (end) of the peninsular (Innes National park) but the ocean and beaches are beatiful and very inviting. Once again my swell mojo is absent and the famous waves were absent!!! very frustrating.
We had our first bush camp for several nights with no power or water on tap. We were very well prepared, yet the suggestion from Leah to take shampoo to the beach was a bit odd!!!!
The photo above looks like a good wave but its two foot!!!!!!
A photo of Leah, Jarrod and me (doing a Chad Morgan impersonation by the looks of the hat), at one of the light house points. The views of the coastline were amazing as was the weather.
Leah and the kids threating to jump!!!!!!!
My attempt of a panoramic shot of the coastline from the lighthouse.
Just to prove that Leah had a swim in South Oz waters. (notice no sharks!!!, probably put off by her shampoo).
All in all very worth the visit with amazing coastal scenery and sand dunes for the kids were like dreamworld without the cost. From here we are onto Port Augusta (to have a shower, if Leah hasn't used all the shampoo at the beach!!! and restock supplies for the desert invasion. ( AHHHHH!!!! No Waves for 2 months. On the positive though there is plenty of sand to remind me of whats just around the corner )
