This was our first weekend camping in Australia! We left Clare at about 8:30 on Saturday morning as it was the Adelaide Cup Long Weekend. We met up with Rachelle, Darren, Milly, and Claudius in Ardrossan on our way where we had a coffee and a treat and then got some groceries, beverages, and were on our way south down the Yorke Peninsula toward Edithburgh. We followed a dirt road south of Edithburgh and found a small camp spot right on the ocean where we set up...

This weekend was very exciting for all of us! On Friday Layla stayed with Darren, Rachelle, Claudius, and Milly and we picked her up and had a bbq together. We decided that Saturday would be a good day to go squid and crab fishing in Port Broughton. We left our house in Clare at 9:00 and got to Port Broughton at 10:00. After a smooth and fast ride out of the bay we dropped anchor and started casting our lines for squid and dropping the net for crab. After getti...

We had a beautiful day at the beach today! Rachelle, Darren, Claudius, and Milly joined us at North Beach, just outside Wallaroo where we went snorkelling, swimming, and just chilled on the beach all day.

The scenery was beautiful and we even got to see a large brown snake (from the car, luckily), one of Australia's most poinonous! I am lo...

Today we woke up to find that Layla had been visited by the tooth fairy after losing a stubborn tooth the day before. We then went with Rachelle and Claudius to check out Burra, a historical copper mining town north of Clare. We wandered down mainstreet, had tea at Rachelle's favorite cafe and then headed off to the copper mine and started to do some Geocaching. It was starting to warm up and we were able to get some great shots, even got to meet a little lizard ...

Tonight we went with Rose Hampel to the Sevenhill Vineyard and Winery to see Shakespeare in the Vines. Each year a travelling Shakespeare troupe stops here to put on a show. This year it was "Midsummer Night's Dream". We packed our picnic basket and bought a bottle of wine from the vineyard and watched Shakespeare on the lawn of a beautiful winery. Layla absolutely loved the play and we were all in stitches by the end. A great evening!
