25th February – Day 22
We packed up headed for Port Lincoln this morning. I still wasn’t feeling real flash, but Carl was much better. We called into the Chemist and bought some things to get me through, and some Iron for Carl.
The coast line along the way was absolutely gorgeous, Lots of Islands and Lincoln National Park in the background.
This is where Makybe Diva came from; there is a statue is on the foreshore.
The town is gorgeous. The Caravan Park is good; if it had shade it would be great, if we could get TV reception it would be magnificent!
It was a very hot day here today, for those who really know me, I spent 1 hour in the water!!!
Meeting some great people along the way, early drinks and swim with one couple then evening chats with another – I think I like this life!!
Tonight I tried out the smoker; I have been speaking to a number of people who use them, and tasted some snapper done in it, very nice. Carl caught a Tommy Rough yesterday, it’s a bit like a herring, so I’ll throw that in as well and see how it comes up – looking forward to it!
I liked it; Carl is still to be sold!!
Until tomorrow xx

24th February - Day 21
It’s a hot one today!
We started off just sitting around this morning, but we did get going and headed down the beach that we’d made plans to go to. We got to the beach, Carl let down the tyres, and as we drove along the beach, we realised that the tide was out so far that we wouldn’t be able to fish; we could nearly walk out to Tumby Island. We can’t believe the tide differences. We went for a ride down the beach, and then decided to go to some beaches off the beaten track! – Absolutely beautiful! The water is a beautiful green and the sand is as fine as powder, and we had it all to ourselves as well!
We had a late lunch, “chips and milk shakes” – Laura and Kris, do you remember our days at Loch Sport, it made me think of them!
We spent the afternoon hanging around the van as Carl was not feeling 100% so he had a lay down & I just loafed around doing lots of things but nothing in particular.
Neither of us felt real flash by the end of the evening – I also felt quite unwell!
As the end of the night approached, Carl called me in to look at something that he thought may have made him feel unwell. I read the bottle; it said ‘laxative” L Before we left home, the doctor told Carl that he needed a course of Iron. Carl grabbed a bottle from the top of the fridge that he thought were his iron tabs. Not so, they were laxatives!! He has been taking them every 3rd night for 3 weeks! No wonder he has the trots, still tired and not feeling well!!!
Until tomorrow x
Driving onto the Beach
Guess Who
23rd February – Day 20
We packed up this morning and drove to Tumby Bay, only 70km down the road, but the pack up and set up certainly takes its toll.
We went for a walk along the beach – there is 10km of sand here! Then we went for a walk along the board walk through the mangroves. This place is just beautiful!
As we walked along the beach we found a dolphin washed up onto the beach, dead, not a pretty sight!
Tomorrow we will take the car for a drive along the beach to the point where the mainland is close to Tumby Island, we’ll do some fishing and some more relaxing!!!
Until tomorrow xx

22nd February – Day 19
Today was a bit of a quiet day, we needed a slow day. We headed down to the surf beach that we had been to before and just relaxed! Carl caught a couple of yellow fin whiting, but we have so much fish that he gave it to the people in the van behind us.
I had crab for entree tonight, very yum!
We have decided to pack up and go to Tumby Bay tomorrow – we have heard so many great things about how beautiful it is.
It’s interesting the people you meet. I must admit that I thought that it was all grey nomads on the road. Not so! We have met a number of people, near retirement age, who have had cancer and just decided that they just had to do it, just go and enjoy life, it’s too short to be bogged down in the day to day things in life.
Until tomorrow xx
