Farewell Port Lincoln, it’s been amazing.

We said in 2023 when we visited Streaky Bay on our return from WA that we would one day love to return to the Eyre Peninsula to explore its full glory. You can’t say we don’t keep our word…

Sadly our star attraction, the Great White Sharks, were a no show. However, the lovely towns, beautiful scenery and crystal clear beaches (not to mention the amazing seafood) ensured the journey was still worthwhile. We’re even seriously contemplating how and when we might get back here again for a second attempt at diving WITH the sharks 🦈🤷🏻‍♀️

We started our return trip east this morning, heading back up the Lincoln Highway as far as Lucky Bay where we fronted the queue to board the Spencer Gulf Searoad Ferry to Wallaroo. While not a timesaving detour we were all grateful to halve the drive time for today’s trip to Hahndorf and avoid a further repeat of Port Augusta. A very relaxing way to travel 😊

After negotiating our way through Adelaide’s peak hour traffic (akin to Sydney on a Sunday morning), we found our way up the hills to the fabulous Discovery Park Hahndorf. We have a picturesque drive through slab site where Dan, Helen, Anthony and I enjoyed happy hour while the boys played a round of putt-putt, followed by an after dinner swim.Read more
