I had really settled in at this camp site in Adelaide and was quite disappointed to leave, but no worries as I will be back here from the 5th January to wait for that wonderful day when Jay arrives at Adelaide Airport. I followed the coast road at first through West Beach and onto Glenelg. I have definitely made the right decision to go back to the Semaphore camp site in January as West Beach is busier and just doesn't seem to me to have quite as good a vibe. After Glenelg I followed Tom Toms instructions to the Southern Expressway out of the city. I was heading to a town on the far side of the Fleurieu Peninsula called Victor Harbor. Harbor is spelt the American way for some reason! The road over the peninsula passes through the McLaren Vale wine region. There were vines growing almost everywhere and I saw a big sign for Rosemount Estate, one of the best known Australian wine producers in the UK. On the way to Victor Harbor I stopped at Horseshoe Bay in Port Elliott. This was a gorgeous little bay with a great beach. Once in Victor Harbor I stopped at Coles for food and Liquorland for beer. I got a case of the local South Australian beer, West End Draught. It was then to the camp site, just a couple of k's out of town. The site was very average but had an excellent shower, not quite top 5 stuff, but still pretty excellent. I went for a walk in the afternoon out of the camp and along the beach to the centre of town where there is a wooden causeway to Granite Island which is just off shore. It was quite busy here with loads of Japanese, but I couldn't hear any Germans! Amongst other things Granite Island is the home to fairy penguins. I saw some of the little cuties on the rocks just near the causeway. There is an evening tour to view to see the penguins waddle out of the water but just seeing them on the rocks was enough for me. There was a sign which said 'WHY YOU NEED TO JOIN A GUIDED TOUR TO SEE THE PENGUINS AT DUSK'. There were three reasons *to protect the penguin colony *to better understand penguin behaviour and adaptations *to ensure a quality experience for all visitors. I think that they forgot a fourth reason, *to mug you for an unreasonably large amount of money! The ocean was fierce around the island and there was a short walk which took in serpents rock, a rock in the shape of a serpents head. There was also one of those metal plate things that shows you the direction and mileage to places. This must have been installed here a long time ago as it was in miles and not kilometres. It was over 3000 miles to the South Pole, or if you have an open mind an entrance to the hollow earth.
