Port Pirie to Port Elliot (Saturday 19th June 2010)


Travel day.
Port Pirie - Adelaide - Victor Harbor - Port Elliot 320km
Woke up to someone singing opera. A man camping near us said, " if you want to see something different go have a look at the bloke swimming out in the bay singing opera. He's there come rain, hail or shine everyday of the year". We walked to the edge of the park and there in the cold grey water was on old guy swimming along head held high singing his lungs out. Opera that is. He must be crazy. It's so bloody cold. Well that's how we started the day. Today we were on our way to Victor Harbor until Pete got chatting to a guy at the park and recommended the caravan park at Port Elliot. So Port Elliot it was. We were on the road at 10am. It was raining. Made some phone calls to Kangaroo Island information centre to gather information and hopefully make an informed decision about going over to the island. After much deliberation decided it was a trip in it's self. So we decided to continue along the coastline and see more costal towns. Got a call from our neighbour to tells us our gum tree had fallen on our shed. OOPPPs. 12.55pm hit outskirts of Adelaide and were stuck in traffic. We don't miss this! Finally got through that and we were driving through the beautiful rolling hills past McLaren Vale and Rosemount vineyards. Arrived at Port Elliot 2pm and instantly liked what we saw.
