June 19th

Every day our Jodie inspires us to Live Life Large. here we are in Kingston SA. What a pretty town ,so much to see.

It is very RV friendly, with a park full of murals ,there is overnight parking in the middle of town. all done by card.






How about this little book swap , cute eh!

This 5 ton, sand sculpture, which was created in February ,I think, was also in the park. Amazing its still standing, with the wild weather down here and apparently no vandals.




There is also plenty of old buildings, and these two old houses also caught my eye. the second one was my pic for the day, just loved it.


Lobster for dinner that night would of been nice, but this fellow wouldn’t fit in the van.

So that was our visit to Kingston. That afternoon we travelled further along the coast and pulled up in the carpark to view the granite rocks. It was lovely to walk along a beach for a change.




That evening the sun set with a pink glow, so we decided to stay another day. The next morning the tide was out enough that I could get to the rock, but couldn’t climb on it as there was no foot holds, and I could see myself slipping and getting a wet A, bum. And yes a warm sunny day.

A nice long walk, beach combing, just checking out what the overnight, high tide had left.

The next day we drove out into the Coorong National Park, its mainly wet lands, with lots of bird life



After being escorted out of there by these three, we made camp at the ferry wharf, at Narrung.

The lighthouse is on the other side of the lake. We took a ferry ride the next day and had a look around it, and the old homestead,


As I was sorting out in the van I looked out the window ,,, the sights you see when you haven’t got a gun,,, then again is that a gun…. should we be camping here ??

All good, nobody told me it was open season on ducks.!! Hopefully we’re not sitting ducks. That evening I was able to sit out on the wharf and take photos of the ferry crossing back and forth and the sun setting .






The view from the van across the park was also lovely.

We took the ferry the following day, and then walked up to the lighthouse. It was cold and blowing a gale, so we didn’t hang around too long.




Some of the remains from the original homestead still stand.


Before we left Narrung, we went for alook around the Aboriginal settlement, lots of homes all kept tidy and plenty of activities in the park to occupy the kids. A nice mural is on one of the buildings.

Thats it for tonight. Going into Adelaide tomorrow to have a new awning fitted to the van.
