Well, we have made our way around the Yorke Peninsula and I must say, it is a very pretty place. The weather has been a bit windy and cold, but we have still managed to do a bit of sight seeing and fishing. We have met some lovely locals, and fellow travellers, and stayed in some very nice places. Lots of little fishing villages, all with an 'historical' jetty to fish off. We went for a walk on the jetty at Port Victoria yesterday and just as we passed a fisherman, he reeled in a squid. He then caught 8 more in the space of about 5min - so we started chatting to him, remarking on his amazing fishing abilities. Yep, he had been there for 3 hrs and this was his first catch!!!!!! Wayne caught some squid at Wool Bay - and they were very yummy!!! We are currently up near the top of the west coast of the Peninsula and looking forward to doing the Ayre Peninsula next.

We have finally made it to the big smoke - Adelaide!!! What a pretty town. Lots of old buildings next to new skyscrapers and very easy to get around town. We stayed on the beach and caught the train into the city and several people stopped and asked us if we needed help finding our way. Either they are very nice people in Adelaide or we just look like QLD's. I am going with helpful people. We also did a drive down to Glenelg and looked at the very expensive houses!!!
After a few days in Adelaide we are now heading to do the Yorke Peninsula. We spent a few nights at a fantastic free camp at Port Parham, and we are now making our way around the Peninsula stopping at all the pretty seaside villages on the way. The coast line is very different - the tide change is low, however, it is very flat and goes out a very long way. When the tide comes in it is at walking pace and pretty amazing to see. It is a very long walk to the water at low tide so the locals have come up with some pretty impressive machines to get their boats out to the water. Hopefully the fishing will start to be more productive as the weather is warming up nicely.
