Now we’re not far from a nice kiting spot (if we can believe the posts on a popular Australian kiting website called Seabreeze). This certainly is a windy spot.
So when we come to Edithburg and the nearby Sultana point we’re not disappointed.
Unfortunately the wind is not enough for my just acquired 9m kite and we can’t camp here, so we sadly say goodbye.
In this area there are many drywalls, stone fences made of stacked rocks. Must be quite a job to get a stable wall just from stacking varied size rocks.
Edithburg has an RSL pub with a nice mural and other older buildings.
As you can see we are getting a little bored; we’ve resorted to taking pictures of buildings…..
Well one more can’t hurt to share with you how big wheat is here. Everywhere around the peninsula you can see these kinds of facilities to store grain or whatever it is they harvest. Big road trains drive around to transport the wheat from the fields to the facilities and then onto ships.
Then we stop for a stretch and let the dogs wade in the calm ocean. To her surprise Marjo finds a quite nice shark egg. This is somewhat rare.
Suddenly we see that at this location they are all but rare.
They are all still full and will hatch in about 10 months or so. These are not Great White shark eggs as their eggs are hatched within the body of the female shark.
In Stansbury we admire the lime kiln that was used in the early 1900’s to turn lime into mortar. Apparently it never was a commercial success but makes a nice picture.
We also have some lunch.
It was impossible to get the dogs to look at the lens with our plates of food sitting in front of us.
Then we decide to stop in Port Vincent for the night, there is a nice camping with, if the wind picks up, a nice shallow kite beach.
While waiting for wind we take the dogs for a walk along the beach and find big pelicans.
They were happy sitting still but here is where Nossi has been trained too well in a previous life. When Niki had Nossi she decided that he was no agility material. Instead she used him to chase birds off her agility paddock so she could do the runs uninterrupted with Peppe. Now, many years later, Nossi still thinks that it’s better to have 10 birds in the air.
Dotti couldn’t care less about birds.
She is more motivated by food and is very happy to scrape clean the oyster shells after Marjo contentedly slobbered their contents.
The wind never picked up, so we settled in the nice late afternoon sun with a yummie fish and chips from the stall next to the camping.
A great day!
