    This is a great free activity to check out. Lots to look at, and interesting history to read about. Such fun to wander about too - great how the wharf is being utilised now instead of being left to 'wrack and ruin'.
    After we leave here, we go and collect our St Anne's purchases, which Roger takes to our ute, so we can continue looking about the shops. I end up in a Confectionery store, so yes, lollies were bought. Walk for a while - window shopping, lots of good shops - before deciding to call it a day on sightseeing and returning to our ute. Surprised that near where our ute is parked, there are a lot of noisy guinea fowl - not expecting that in the centre of a busy town! A lady walking by, noticed my surprise and came over to chat with me about them. Explaining that the family that live in the house beside where our ute is parked, have bred guinea fowl for years - there used to be hundreds of them, until someone complained and the family were forced to cull them. Well I never, the things you see and learn. Back to our caravan we go.
