After 4 very full days on Kangaroo Island, we took our time the first day back on the mainland . First stopping at Rapid Bay to cook a breakfast of bacon and eggs. Had a walk out on the jetty and looked back at an old quarry site.
Then a stop at a lookout to view back over Lady bay, before going on to see the Myponga reservoir, which doesn’t seem very big.
From there we called in to look around the Nan Hai Pu Tuo Temple . It is still being built, and is situated on the side of a hill overlooking the ocean. Prime land no doubt.
We were welcomed in and told we could take photos around the grounds, but not in the Temple itself. I don’t know anything about the religion, but the temple was very impressive inside.
Wanting to get off the coast for the night we headed up into the hills and stayed at Pink Gums camp in the National Park, near Blewitt Springs. We were booked into a lovely quiet bush camp . Our only neighbour for the night was a sleeping Koala.
Too cute eh!
The next morning we headed out through the Adelaide traffic, and called into North Haven Marina to see how the other half live. So many yachts, and luxury homes built out over the water. Give me a bush camp any day.!
Ok now back to the real world, of small towns and their silo art, to encourage the tourists, had the best coconut and lemon slice as well as hot drinks, from the caffe in Owen, that had these silos in the town.
Further on was this nice old church at Goyder.
Then we went looking at some of the Pink Lakes, one of the larger ones has a lock ness monster, or two in it, as a further attraction.
Then a stop at another small town, Snowtown, to view the art, on a water tower.
Following Wiki Camps, as I do, as we trip around, I found another Pink Lake, just over there I told Chris, But we cant drive on that, the sign says dry weather road only,! and yes it has been a bit wet some days.
Oh well the trusty Triton got us almost there. then I had to get through a wire fence and walk across a golf coarse. You cant do that!, watch me.!!
Now isn’t that a nice pink lake and worth the effort. lets not get stuck getting out of here,
We are going down South for the next week, so called into Bute. How Beautiful is their water tower.
The detail that the Artist has put into it is amazing. Rings on the girls fingers, a pencil behind her ear, and so much more. We stopped there looking at it for quite some time. We both feel that it is the best we have seen, and we have seen so many around the Country.
On our way down the York Peninsula, we stopped for lunch at Ardrossan, and decided that’s it for today. So just down the road we pulled into a bush camp in the sandhills. So a bit sheltered from the chilly sea breeze.
