Matilda Street Reserve

Dragged myself out of bed for the sunrise which happened at 7.10...yes I know its very late. The days are short here - sunset is 5.20pm. Anyway it was stunning, quite cool, I had a hot cuppa, trackies plus a scarf, just taking some awesome photo's when along comes a group of ladies, then another group - total of 11 of these insane ladies who all jumped into the water and started walking around, not swimming briskly which I would have done....crazy.

Went back to the Van to get Wayne out of bed, we were going exploring again, he was so excited...not ! Stopped at a few beaches travelling north up the Western side of the leg (see map). Flaherty Beach was the first one, which we had been told was beautiful. Driving along behind the houses, I saw more Furgie Tractors than I had seen my whole life. Every house has their own Tractor to launch their boats, just like the old Emu Park days.

Unfortunately, it was low tide, so the beaches were very shallow, so decided to drive all the way up to Port Hughes, which is outside Yorke Peninsular, then work our way back down.

Wayne is addicted to the King George Whiting (he assures me he is going fishing tomorrow to catch some) after he has done some maintenance. Quick lunch, and we started coming back via every dirt road known to man kind (guess who's comment that was). We went to Port Vincent, which was windy, but I did take a photo of the toilet block.

We drove down to a few more of the beaches coming back but there isn't a coastal road, so you have to drive in and out from the highway, yes on dirt roads. Went into Wauraltee Beach, which is gorgeous, we are planning to stay there when we leave here on Sunday. Will be our first beach camp...Yay.

Got back to Turton and drove past the park to Magazine Bay. A lady on the Jetty had told us it's a must to see. She was right. It's protected from wind, lovely pebbly beach, and a cave you can climb up to and enjoy the view. It even has carpet in the cave -we accidently interrupted a young couple....oops. Will be going back tomorrow for a swim.

We are off to the Tavern for dinner again tonight, slack I know, but it's too easy.

Happy Birthday for Taj tomorrow, sorry not going to see him.Okumaya devam et
