Day 29 Heading to Cape Jervis



Beautiful clear morning with a stunning sunrise I took through the window of the van first

But then I realised I needed to get up and out if I wanted to get a decent shot
mist still all over the water



Moon still visible



Droplets of dew on the tips of the branches

We had a lovely campsite on our own right down the end of the park unfortunately it was quite a distance from the amenities and the camp kitchen so I needed Bill to come and help carry the basket with the washing up back to the van

Mist gradually lifting

We emptied our blackwater tank at the dump point here
Love their sense of humour
Penny wise from Stephen King’s ‘if’

Another interesting road crossing sign
There was a turtle crossing one just around the corner that I missed taking a photo of



Interesting story here that I have never heard of before



A lovely boat sculpture at the entrance to the jetty in Meningie

We left Meningie quite late because we first of all filled up with fuel and then did some shopping - stocked up on a few supplies
Out onto the Princes Highway

Stopped at this supposed pink lake

Which wasn’t really pink

Continuing on the Princes Highway

But turned off towards Wellington

Along the Fleurieu way

Towards Langhorne Creek









Arriving at the ferry across the Murray River at Wellington

Took note of some of the advertising/information signage





And read the ferry users rules whilst waiting for the ferry



We missed the first trip across as there was a big motorhome in front of us waiting to cross

Took this spot image as we were crossing





A couple of classic cars waiting to cross





Passed through Wellington



Spotted this cyclist going the other way





Took the turn off to Milang





Reaching the wine growing region of Langhorne Creek

Where we decided to pull up and have lunch and a drink at the Meechi brewery and Winehouse

We shared a couple of delicious entree dishes

Bill had a local beer and I had a glass of local bubbles

The spot showed that we had been there awhile


Whilst waiting for our lunch we did a little bit of research online as to what was available on Kangaroo Island so that we could plan how we were going to spend our day





We even had desert and I had an Affogato

Our table was right next to this array of local wines

I went out the back to get some photos of the grapevines before we left

And took a photo of the back of the restaurant



And a photo of the front as we were leaving

Took photos of buildings and sites along our journey













Love this sign at the entry to Milang

More signs and sites along our way

























































































And we eventually arrived at our destination for the night

Our HEMA tracking for the day

Chose a nice little spot in the unpowered area beside some trees and on some beautiful green grass



Some guineafowl came out to greet us



That evening we received a phone call from Gynetyck’s house where Corina Bronwyn was around there with Brianna to celebrate her birthday





Beautiful sunset over the ocean from our camping spot

Day 11 Broadford to St Leonards

Woke up to sunshine. More vans had pulled up in the night  … Pretty flowers with a fragrance outside on the creek bank, and croaking frogs Went for a walk down the road to use the toilet. Crossed this creek last night on our way back from the pub Thanks Lions Club for this nice clean toilet block in the park nearby and thanks Broadford bowls club for providing a free camp spot, by the creek  and on beautiful green grass. Only drawback was the trains close by and noisy trucks on the highway? But still a good night On the road just after 9 heading south towards Melbourne  Took the C311 road off the highway to Kilmore Pretty drive through the country One of the attractions in Kilmore was the Old Goal.  On checking the surrounds we found that we could go inside and that there was a cafe inside So we went inside for a coffee and a munchie Their menu front page had a story of the history of the goal  Interesting history Once inside we checked it all out,  A big ...

Day 40 Walkers Rock to Streaky Bay and stuff in between

Beautiful morning to start the day this was the view from our fabulous campsite which was one of the best from the trip so far When we drove out I took a photo of this sign just to double check that they appeared to be no name for any of the campsites however it was quite clear where the sites were They were just red arrows with the word campsite at each of the turns and we could basically pick where we wanted to be.  there were quite a few people in nice little nooks and crannies but we had managed to find our own away from everyone The beautiful violet coloured everlasting flowers were growing here We drove down to the main car park area and where the toilet and shower block is as Bill needed to do a little bit of a repair work on the Anderson plug. He had discovered that the batteries weren’t charging and when he looked at the Anderson plug he discovered there was an issue with the connection. He had to spend a long time doing a temporary fix as it was in a very awkward positio...
