So today we explored more of the Yorke Peninsula, starting with the tiny seaside town of Wool Bay where we had a look at the old lime kiln ruin. We then drove to Port Giles, which is not a town but actually the newest port on the Yorke Peninsula with a long jetty equipped for bulk handling of grain, the main industry on this peninsula.
Next we headed to Edithburgh, also on the coast, where I bought a dozen fresh oysters from a farm (unshucked) and stuck them straight into the freezer (Waeco always in the back of the car) to help them relax enough to make shucking them easier later on. We ate a picnic lunch on the foreshore and then headed towards Troubridge Point via an unpaved scenic coastal back road which took in the wind farms near Sultana Point (including isolated camping spots on the beach) and on to Troubridge Hill Aquatic Reserve, a protected marine reserve with a working lighthouse and amazing cliff top scenery.
Once we left the coast we passed lots of salt pan lakes and we laughed at the sight of sheep appearing to be resting in the middle of a lake - obviously a dry salt pan.
Since it's Good Friday Eve, we stopped at the supermarket In the inland town of Yorketown to stock up on supplies and headed back home to relax in the late afternoon - me under the awning and Gadi napping on the couch.
Spent the evening watching an episode of The Bridge (love this Swedish/Danish murder mystery series) that we have on our hard drive and called it a night.
Adios xx
