On route to Mount Gambier we spent time at the sea side town of Beachport. The jetty here a hive of activity as fishermen bring in the lobsters all throughout the day. Refrigerated trucks wait for the fresh catches and then transport them to Adelaide, Robe and other towns. Couldn't resist. The local co-op let us choose our lobster. Then he cooked, cut and cleaned for us ready for dinner tonight. At $85 a kilo the service was great! Driving around the town we f...

What a fabulous place Robe is. We have had a busy couple of days. Completed the historic town walk, the buildings in the main street dates back to 1850's the craftsmanship a testament to their skill as builders. Toured around the town, looked at the local lakes, marina ( found the local sea lion) and did a drive down Long Beach. The wind yesterday still blowing consistently. Woke this morning to a windless day, bit overcast. I went out for a big walk around Gr...

We are getting very good at judging bakeries and so far the best bakery award goes to Yorketown. Stopped at an old church and cemetery fascinating looking at the old head...

Kayce and I walked down to the cave this morning. Watched as the showers kept sweeping across the bay, decided to take a chance and by the time we got back we were soaked. Decided to tour the peninsula today. Visited Cape Jervis where the ferry goes to kangaroo Island, we priced the ferry for a 3 day trip over with the van, but at $740 bit on the pricey side. Will save that for a 2 week holiday down the track. Driving on we reached Victor Harbour a huge town th...
