Travel day. 328km
Up at 6.30am. Mist was rolling in from the sea and as each minute went by the air was getting moister and mistier. Everything felt damp. After having packed up so quickly we decided we deserved to buy ourselves breakfast. The second one for the trip. In quaint Port Elliot we found the perfect place and had a great brekky and coffee. Before leaving we strolled down the main street and were amazed at the original old buildings still being used. Traveling along the B45 we came across an Aboriginal Canoe Tree. You could actually see where they'd cut out the canoe. Incredible.
We drove past beautifully laid out vineyards with grand homesteads in the background. The drive was really lovely. Happily driving along we were traveling through Wellington until we came to a grinding halt after turning a sweeping bend in the road. Water. The road was under water. Oh, this is bad news. We reversed the car thinking we'd come the wrong way. No, looking at the map this was the right way. Then looking closer at the map it actually says 'ferry crossing'. The road's not flooded. It was the Murray River! To cross the Murray River you need to catch the ferry. What an unexpected surprise. Onto the ferry we drove and across the river we went.
Had lunch in Kingston S.E. Had to take a photo next to gigantic Larry the Lobster.
Drove into Robe around 2.30pm. Set up camp and took a drive around town to see sights.
