Lipson Cove

by in South Australia, Trip

From Louth Bay we want to try the next bush camping along this coast which seems to be Lipson Cove. First we have an opportunity to stock up on water at Tumby Bay, a nice but sleepy town where we take the dogs for a stroll along the town beach.

Then we drive another 20km before turning off a dirt road towards the coast. The first glimpse of Lipson Cove is promising.

And it only gets better. We’re not alone but to say it’s quiet is an understatement.

We find our spot and settle in.

Then our hectic life starts, breakfast, walking, coffee, watching dolphins, kiting, lunch, read a book, art, kiting, walking, and it’s time already for a wine / beer and a snack. Then it’s time for dinner, a coffee and either talking, reading or a movie. Added to this busy schedule we have some social visits of other campers, general bus maintenance. In short…..we love this life of leisure!

To give you a little taste of our nice stay here:

And an unfortunate ending…..a sudden gust made the kite flip up and do some pirouette. After landing it showed a tear in the canopy…..off to the repairer.

Might as well repair some smaller tear in a strut as well.
