While there is a definate shortage of fish in the bay here, there's no shortage of crabs. We zipped out on day one and caught 5, day two 6, and day three 10 and a squid, so we are stockpiling a nice lot in the freezer. As far as fish, we have caught 3 puffer fish, one sand whiting and one undersized king george whiting. The place is well and truly fished out. Russ seems to have more luck fishing off the rocks for crab bait-we can't identify the fish he catches, but that isn't worrying the crabs.
The Beach at Balgowie
Today we decided to skip crabbing and go for a drive. We headed to Port Hughes where we walked out to watch people squidding and fishing very successfully, and Moonta, then on to Port Victoria for lunch, back to Balgowie, across to Kadina and home. We took another walk out along the jetty, then had lunch in a little cafe nearby at Port Victoria-they tried so hard to sell us the local delicacy whiting, but with a freezer full of our own, we settled on a burger for me and a steak sandwich for Russ.
We were amazed at the amount of wheat and other grains ready for or being harvested and saw some beutiful stone buildings in most of the towns. South Australia really knows how to build beautiful stone buildings!
