Happy Australia Day! On the Move Again!

Here’s a new blog at last, our apologies to those watching and waiting to see what we have been up to. After a fantastic 3 weeks in Adelaide, Doug finally pulled himself away from living it up with his sister Terri, who spoiled him rotten. No more of that for awhile.

We left Adelaide on Saturday and travelled south to explore the Fleurieu Peninsula, travelling along the coastal route. Exciting places we visited included Normanville (for a duck pie), Wirrina Cove for an overnight stay, then down to Cape Jervis. Cape Jervis is the jump off point to Kangaroo Island to which we didn’t go to, but may fit it in later on our return trip to Adelaide. We crossed the peninsula to Victor Harbour where the penguins can be seen coming home to their nests in the evening. Then travelling north around Lake Alexandrina (the mouth of the Murray River before going out to sea) we crossed the Murray River a couple of times on ferries. There is a big stretch of sand that protects the lake called The Coorong. This is a bird sanctuary and wetland where driving along the beach is allowed…of course we took the opportunity to 4WD.

After leaving the beach we headed for Kingston and our fist BIG photo…the Big Lobster! We also splurged on some lobster for dinner…very delicious, very expensive.
