We spent some time getting organised, keeping the girlies away from some sheep that happened to be in the paddock, then planned our rendavous with John and Diane at Pt Agusta. We did it well as we arrived within minutes of eachother!
We had planned to push on to Pildappa Rock, which is a lovely "wave" rock formation just past Kimba at Minnipa.
We arrived a around 5:45pm, and set up and started a fire. It was a wet night and we had a big day of driving, so we all tried to have a quite night, after some amazing vege burgers for tea.
Up and at 'em, this Family is early to rise, we set off to climb the rock. Was a nice climb and not as hard as we thought, was drizzling with rain but still worthwhile. We arrived back and and after a big Sunday "plowmans" breakfast we started to pack up a little, one more climb up this rock for good measure and we were away.
We set off again aiming for Ceduna and passed the Ausie iconic concrete crappa.
We had guard come loose under the Snail,( well spotted John) and we were off to Ceduna! We got in Just before 2 and Diane and i hit the shops then we set off again. Saw this beauty of a sign on the pump at BP...
We arrived at Fowlers just before 6pm, and were grateful the driving was done and that this was holiday time, kick back and relax!!!
Nick and John did some fishing and were very lucky, on most days. The Jetty above was very popular with all the fisherman. I am glad Nick had someone to keep him company as i dont enjoy fishing at all (ive tried it once and freaked out when i caught something, nearly started crying and all that, so its not for me at all) Nick caught a massive squid, (well over 1kg) and John caught quite a few fish also. The main fish that were caught included Leatherjacket's and Tommy Ruff's.
Diane and i amused ourselves by colouring hair, reading, chatting (i had day time naps, i can thouroughly recomend them) and cooking, we
walked the girlies to the Jetty to see the Fishermen, and tried to keep Brutus (the town dog) at bay, because he and Delta did not get on well.
We all Climbed the big sand dune to watch the sun set, and have "happy hour" at the top, and we also all did the 6km rtn walk to the Cemetary to see Andrew Dignham. On the walk there, guess what my eagle eyes spotted.... you got it Golf clubs!!!! They were half covered in sand and had been abandoned a long time ago. We scored a 5 and 9 iron aswell as a 1 wood( whatever they are!) We will play the Nullabor links in style now!!!
We had a few games of sequence, (winners are grinners )and sat by the camp fire a few nights, which was lovely.There was lots of surfers who were day tripping then returning to the caravan park to sleep, very friendly fellows.
We met a lovely copuple, from Melbourne and Scottland, and plan to keep in touch (Hello there Rob and Nicole, if ur reading this)
Nick and havnt spent this much time in a caravan park, ever, so was nice to be able to wake up, shower, cook in the kitchen, all things that you take for granted when you free camp most of the time. Particularly after we had been trekking up the dunes and were all sandy and smelly.
Was a teary end when it was time for John and Diane to hit the road. The Girlies will miss the treats (Johns whole chicken) and Delta even had a camp over in John and Diane's van. With our engel full (thanks Diane) and hearts happy we said our farewells. Many things we were going to swap over were forgotten, like sending back Hannahs bday card so it would reach her in time,(have spoken and wished Hannah a happy bday anyway) but these are the joys of being on holiday, thing just fall in to place.
