Port Lincoln SA

We were in no hurry to leave Elliston this morning, so enjoyed a lazy start. Dan and Helen, on the other hand, departed early to get their dodgy tyre checked out and replaced in Port Lincoln.

As we rolled into Port Lincoln around lunchtime, it was once again (as last year) cold, windy and cloudy. Clearly we’re developing a reputation with the weather gods, but we’re channeling positive vibes for brighter skies over the next few days.

After setting up at the Port Lincoln Tourist Park, we headed into town to check things out and stock up on groceries, before finishing the afternoon with a tasting at Boston Bay Wines. We came away with a bottle of ‘Great White’ sauvignon blanc - hopefully a good omen for Monday’s cage dive, or a very deliberate marketing ploy. Either way, we’ll take it.

Dan and Anthony made a final stop at the Port Lincoln Brewing Co. before we all headed to dinner at the Boston Hotel. A fitting end to a relaxed first day in town.

P.S. The cat was still stubbornly stuck in the tree as we pulled away. Hopefully it sorts itself out sooner rather than later, it’s coming on a week now!Read more
