Still on Yorke's

 Yep, still here.

Its a beautiful part of the world and have earmarked a few camp sites for next time. These being Daly Head and Len Barker Campground very close to Point Turton. 

The views from Daly Head Campground



This week our travels have taken us down to the southern part of the peninsula, and around its foot, to the historic lighthouse at Corny Point, 




over to Marion Bay, Foul Bay, named thus by Mathew Flinders as we was unable to find anchorage and called the place foul, but how any one could call this place foul is beyond me, look how clear the water is.

How's that for a view, even if the fish aren't biting



We also paid a visit to Port Vincent and up to Port Julia, but decided west was best and after a quick one nighter in a tiny town  called Arthurton, we ended up in a quirky camp site at Port Broughton.  However it was not all smooth sailing, again, as it was here in Arthurton, the tiny town, camped beside a cemetery, which sounds quite odd, but surprisingly wasn't (Very quiet neighbours, thank goodness) where disaster struck. Well, disaster struck the drone, a bit of a mishap with a gum tree has seen the  drone damaged unrepairably and the pilot much annoyed with HIMself. Hence to say Les is under flight instruction again ("L" Plates) and may not fly solo for a little while with a new drone.

Arthurton however was a beautiful town with the neatest cricket ground I think I've seen, the curators of MCG< Sydney and Adelaide would have been envious

The RV Park at Port Broughton was as quirky as they come, we got to meet the owner and artist, Wayne Dennis, behind the installations, he has big plans for the place but its just a hobby, so he says.








The air conditioner has arrived, however Dometic have sent the wrong part, it may take another fortnight for this to be corrected, so we have pulled the pin, and have decided to live without the A/C for now and will start to make our way North.

So here we sit planning the next and final stage of our travels home with a new drone on board.
