Fleurieu Peninsular

On Sat Harvey had a route planned out down the Fleurieu Peninsular so naturally we got a little lost when trying to find the start of a footpath (we never found it!) 😅 We did however get to several beaches, as we wanted to go for a swim... however it was super windy and a sand storm must have been brewing as we got fully attacked by tiny daggers of sand, our only protection was submerge in the sea (which was quite 'refreshing'!) was hilarious!!!!
We also stopped for fish and chips at Victor Harbour (the chips are really not the same) with the promise that the seagulls are not as vicious as the ones in the UK... that was a lie! We got chased down the walkway by about 8 of them, all gliding above us, much to onlookers amusement... it was terrifying! I chucked my chips away, couldn't deal with it! 🤣
Anyways, made it over to Granite Island for a ganda around... didn't see any penguins... except some copper ones at the beginning of the walk... Good walk, nice beaches and path... terrifying seagulls!
On Sunday we went out to a dolphin sanctuary, mangrove forest and ship wreck site for a bit of kayaking... we explored down a creak... got stuck trying to turn around (very narrow!), almost concussed ourselves on low hanging mangrove branches, but ya know, team work saw us through (kinda!!!)... we did see 2 dolphins as well which was pretty special 😊
Harvey disappeared after lunch (boooooooo) and so I went for a walk to the park to see the flying foxes (bats)... omg they are huge, so many of them and make A LOT of noise!!!! They were also very swoopy so I didn't stay long!Read more
