Tuesday was Australia Day and after a relaxed morning we
went into town for the festivities. There weren’t many really. No bands, just a
‘Greasy Pole’ competition where kids edge their way out on a greasy pole
suspended over the water from the jetty and the one to get the furtherest wins.
There was a prawn peeling competition. We felt it was a bit flat really.
We went back home and put some lamb on the Barbie and
watched some young people playing cricket down by the water. That was more like
it.
Wednesday we went for a drive in the Lincoln National Park.
Had morning tea at Taylor’s Landing. A nice spot but nothing there but a toilet
campsites and a boat ramp. If I was camping in the park I would go further on.
We went on to Surfleet Cove and Spalding Cove where you can
camp at the latter. It is sealed road all the way there and had a very nice
beach on Boston Bay and looked back to Port Lincoln. It would be a good spot to
camp but the predominant southerly winds blow in at you there and it would not
be my preferred spot. The same applies to Fisherman’s Point.
Surfleet Cove.
The pick of the places was September Beach. It is protected
from the southerlies and has a beautiful beach with crystal clear water. A
sting ray swam between us while we were there. The only disadvantage was that
there is about 10km of gravel road, some of it a bit rough, to get there. It
would be worth it though.
