Gismo Queen and her King

Day 13 - Coffin Bay to Port Lincoln (North Shields)

Huge day's travel - all of 46km! There was a tiny bit of rain this morning as we packed up but once the sun came out, it was actually pretty warm. On the road by 10am, and at our new home north of Port Lincoln (North Shields) before elevenses! We are beachside in a caravan park with lovely big sites.

The rain did start just as we finished our elevenses so we hurriedly finished and jumped in the car to head into Port Lincoln. Did a bit of (drive) touring around before finding a place for lunch. Tracey jumped on TripAdvisor to find a place after yesterday's reccomendation worked out so well, and combined with a fresh fish reccommendation from the lady at this caravan park, we ended up at the Fresh Fish Place. Beautifully presented, with retail, gallery, frozen and fresh fish to buy, as well as a nice cafe area, we all enjoyed our "ocean to plate" meal. Clearly, I had the best seat in the house with this throne chair! 

As we finished lunch and perused the retail offerings, we tossed up what to do with our afternoon. The Whaler's Way had been reccommended - a private property right at the south of the Eyre Peninsula with stunning scenery and references to the past whaling history. We decided to do it, booked, made the 35km drive out there and got our secret code to access the key to enter the property. And it was stunning! Poor signage, no safety barriers or formed paths but absolutely beautiful. Seals could be seen from the point, the cliffs were awe inspiring, and the coastline was a little bit different at every turn. We spent quite a few hours out there before heading back for a rest in the sun before we enjoyed dinner outside. A great day.
