We are going down south again, to look around the York Peninsular, first stop was Julia Bay.
Then down to Port Vincent. There is also a water tower painted, but had to take the photo from the gate.?
Next we stopped in the little town of Standsbury, to have lunch and get a few groceries. The corner Cafe has been painted in art, and stands out well.
There is also a painted silo in town , it didn’t impress me much. Its of a big crab, but it doesn’t stand out.
We have booked into the York caravan park for 3 nights, that way we can unhook the van and do day drives.
One of our drives, was out to the coast and through the town of Coobowie .A few things of interest there as we drove around,
Further down the coast was the seaside village of Edithburgh
Then to our first Lighthouse for the day at Troubridge Point. At first sight I thought how ugly, but when we got to the base of it, I saw, its made of ordinary bricks. Looking up its so tall, very neatly done, and so many little bricks. Yes its ugly, but a real work of art.
Then on to Foul Bay and Marion Bay,
After so many bays , and small town stops, we were at the far end of the peninsular, in Innes National Park, Cape Spencer has some great views and a lighthouse.
From the coast we drove up to a historic township, it was lovely to wander around all the old buildings and take lots of photos. Some of the plants are still around the homes and lilies in flower.
It had been a long day and so making our way up the west coast had only a couple of stops left . One was a view point over a lovely beach where there are the remains of two ship wrecks.
One unintended stop to let this emu cross the road.
Last stop was to see the West Cape Lighthouse . It didn’t look very attractive ,and so I had second thoughts about walking overland to see it close up. But then what the heck, and I was so glad I made the effort. There were lots of Kangaroos feeding all around the cliff tops. They were so quiet, and didn’t worry about me taking photos of them.
Although it was cold, they sure had a table with a view
Oh and as for that Lighthouse, its made out of aluminium, and is not very attractive at all. It was worth the walk just to watch the Roos, before we headed back to the car and our camp at York Town.
