The drive here was quite enjoyable. The roads were fairly narrow, but not much traffic and everybody waves as they go by too (not just other caravanners) which was quite nice. The towns we passed through were very neat and clean. We stopped at Minlaton for a cuppa. A lady stopped and said hello and welcome, the postie doing his rounds said hello and welcome. The bakery was a delight as the people serving were so friendly too. The pies and vanilla slice were also very acceptable.

Edithburgh is very small town with two pubs and several cafes, no supermarket though which is 15km away in Yorketown, no big deal though. Once again we have a spot overlooking the ocean. This time we are on the other side of the Yorke Peninsula so we are looking at St Vincent Gulf. The main thing we can see is the great big boat ramp as everyone seems to go fishing, so in between watching the fishing boats come and go we catch up on some reading and some exploring of the area. The car park at the boat ramp has been full most days. We are also happy as we got a special deal to stay here. Normal price is $33 a night but the deal is $140 for seven nights so we said that will do us,
We love to sit and watch the fishing boats come and go and we also had fun watching the sea birds go crazy when the fish are being cleaned. The weather here yesterday and today has been in the low 20s with some rain. South Australia itself is getting a lot of rain though. We are glad we came here when we look up the temperatures at home and see how hot it has been. We leave here on Friday. No idea where to yet, but my guess is slowly homeward bound.

Booked in for another two days so we leave here Sunday morning. Yesterday we went for a drive to look at the South Australia's wind farm which is situated a few km from here at Giles point. It services 53000 homes with electricity. it was placed here because of the wind factor. It blows lots here,just like at Moonta Bay
Cape Yorke was once a huge copper mining area, but when that became unprofitable it became a big farming area, mostly cropping wheat. We also went to have a look at the enormous wheat silos at Coorawi, just 5km away. Big road trains going in and out all the time as there is no train line to cart the wheat. There is also a wharf where they load the wheat on to ships.
