This morning we got up and did our laundry, changed sheets and had a general tidy up, then made ourselves some cold roast lamb and beetroot jam sandwiches and headed off for a drive to the other coast.
We stopped in Kadina and bought ourselves some more beautiful tomatoes, cucs and eggs, and finally tracked down a stainless steel bolt we lost while travelling here from the Flinders Ranges. It's pretty important as it's one of two that holds the boat trailer onto the van as we travel. It took three shops to finally find it so we bought two!
We stopped in the very pretty town of Ardrosen for lunch-it was lovely sitting at a picnic table overlooking the jetty and a view of the beautiful red cliffs and sand. Then it was on to Port Vincent stopping off in tiny little beach side villages with shabby old holiday shacks (just the sort I'd love to own). It was great as we had the coast right beside us almost all the way, and it was even closer on the old coast road-a gravel road between Port Julia and Port Vincent. I really loved Black Point about 15ks out of Ardrosen and would like to go stay there in the little caravan park.
Port Vincent had some of the most beautiful old homes I've ever seen and the town is so clean and tidy-and they'll tell you too. The road into town has countless signs telling you they've won Australias tidiest town, SA tidiest town, SA best small town and won them all a lot more than once. The gardens with their roses, geraniums, oleanders and bougainvillea were all looking very good too
On the way home up the centre of the Peninsula, we stopped in Maitland to buy a lime for dinner tonight. We ended up buying two kilos of bacon for a price we couldn't refuse and a chunk of lovely leg ham.
