Deep
Creek Conservation Park SA
It
rained over night so we were very happy to be curled up in the king
sized bed and have access to another lovely big bath - totally
therapeutic for a sore back!
Decided
to head south today and travelled through more farm country following
the coast. The day began to clear so we turned off to visit the wine
area of McLaren Vale. A picturesque town filled with cafes and
quaint shops. We stopped here for brunch and it was delightful. A
bit of a treat after all the bush cooking. Great coffee, eggs
Florentine and corn cakes, in the sun, with a row of eager finches
waiting patiently for scraps from our table.... they will eat corn
evidently.
Moving
south we came upon the Deep Creek Conservation Park right at the tip
of the coast overlooking Kangaroo Island. We drove around the park
and headed down a gnarly 4x4 track to a beach that was windswept and
not totally inviting. The track was great fun, except for Nic's
back....boring ... and the land around the track was filled with
kangaroos hanging out having a bit of lunch.
Finally
settled on a camp site and set up for the night. Happy little
campers again. Had to fend off the Kookaburras when the meat was
produced.... we almost went hungry.
