My 2nd par for the course in front of Swedish backpackers- I overheard them say- Ooh and he can play golf as well!- or I think that's what they said?
MatkaajaI only use the red shirt for each golf hole and then change but don't worry Pat I'll have the blue and gold on tommorrow arvo.

Booked into Fowlers Bay for a couple of nights. So far very windy but they say the fishing is good. I think you'll need a 12oz sinker just to get the line in the water. Nice looking jetty so might giLue lisää

Big day driving from Tumby Bay to Melrose adjacent to Mt Remarkable in the Flinders Ranges. Nice town-2 pubs and a brewery! Came via Horrocks Pass through the ranges. Took a drive back to WilmingtonLue lisää
MatkaajaThe drive up that way is quite stunning, and the gorges are very similar to ours, as you say.
MatkaajaYes. The road to get through the Flinders Ranges via Horrocks Pass was very impressive. I don't know whether you have been to Alligator Gorge but we saw a cyclist walking up the first of the hills and there was a series of very steep hills much worse than the first - suffice to say we didn't see him at the gorge as he must have given up and turned around. Mind you your older sister Audrey probably would have made it on her electric bike!!!

MatkaajaHappy Easter Gaz and Jules! Looks like a great trip so far. Enjoy the footy next weekend.
MatkaajaThanks Karon and happy Easter. We've checked out a few more places but we definitely feel like we're moving too quickly as there's a lot of great places to stay. Camp grounds at Stenhouse Bay just inside the Innes NP is very good.
