This stop was nice but enough for an overnight stop only. After feeding Marjo, the dogs and Pluto we’re on our way.
The little town of Port Neill tries to get on the map and become more attractive, but somehow I don’t think that frequently grading an already reasonably smooth dirt road to the town is going to cut it.
From here on the scenery gets a bit more hilly and from some we suspect they’re man made.
Then we come to the town of Whayalla which is already visible from 25 km up the road.
And loses its attractiveness the closer we get.
We stop for a look at the town beach but turn around when we see that we’ll never make it over the mountain of seaweed on the beach and then go for shopping for rye bread and post the kite. This takes a couple of tries as it doesn’t seem simple to insure the kite during transit. I have too often heard of things getting lost and don’t want my kite getting regrettably lost. When we finally succeed, we decide to indulge in a 50 cent Hungry Jack’s ice cream and then say farewell to Whyalla.
Our next stop is Fitzgerald Bay where a couple of bush campings are located. First we pass Defence training land and we’re glad we have camouflage colours.
Then we stop on the side of the road on the top of a hill with mobile reception to congratulate Joran and Christine with their engagement! Very happy for the two of them.
And we come to the bay.
At the first campground the access to the water is a little hard.
So we decide to go to the next site and camp there with a nice view. Dotti enjoys it too and lets herself out for a walk.
Then a yummie dinner from Marjo and coffee after.
Then Marjo and Nossi explore a bit further.
And come back to the bus where Dotti sits enjoying the sunset.
A day with love in the air….congratulations Joran and Christine!
