Ardrossan

Our last camp on the Yorke Peninsula. Ardrossan is on the east coast. We free camped here at the RV site. Ardrossan is known for its Blue Swimmer Crab fishing ... of which there were lots of people fishing for them off the local jetty and the beaches. Its dolomite mines and the factory that produced the famous Australian stump jump plough. It is also where 7 sperm whales beached a number of years ago. There is a beautiful memorial to them.

It was the first place we visited that didn't have crystal clear waters. I assume it was from the red cliffs.

We enjoyed our afternoon walk around. There are so many beautiful old homes, with stunning gardens. As in most of SA homes don't have any lawns. The remembrance garden was a lovely stop, with it almost 100 yo pine. We could easily walk under its lower branches. It was a very pretty town to visit.Read more
