Drove to Horrocks Hill lookout before I
left Whyalla yesterday morning and took several photos.
Filled up with petrol then headed for
Cowell, a pretty coastal town which is well known for its oysters. There were a couple of places selling
fresh oysters, but I wasn’t tempted. Unfortunately I hate oysters! I had my lunch and spent a
couple of hours looking around and walked along the jetty. It’s a pretty spot and I intended to stop
the night, but I decided to drive inland towards Cleve to try and escape from
the wind. I took a detour to the
heritage listed Yeldulknie Weir which is about 5km from Cleve and came across a
couple who had set up camp for the night, so I decided to stay as well. It was still blowing, but not quite as
bad as the coast.
Had a leisurely drive to Tumby Bay today. A beautiful day for driving - I love driving with the window down and the breeze blowing through my hair. I am now parked in a special RV park on the outskirts of town.
On the way here I turned off the highway to visit Argo Bay. It is one of the prettiest little towns I have come across since I began travelling. Beautiful green lawns along the foreshore, a jetty, lovely white sand and a small caravan park on the beach. There was a beautiful old hotel to complete the scene. With a population of only 250 people, the place is incredibly well maintained.
I also visited Cowell on the way here but didn't take any photos. It didn't really do much for me, but I did drive by a medical clinic and decided on the spur of the moment to go in and have my annual flu vaccination before I had too much time to think about it. Unfortunately they had run out of the vaccine so I came away feeling a bit deflated.
