Port Vincent

 13 - 15 November 2021

We left Port Augusta and set off for the Yorke Peninsula. Mick was sure we had been there on our round Australia trip in 1991, but I was just as sure that we hadn't. We drove along Highway 1 and turned off to have coffee in Snowtown. From there we drove to Port Wakefield then turned off towards the peninsula. The sky was cloudy, but with only occassional light showers of rain. We drove into Androssan for a look around then found a nice picnic spot for lunch on the way to Port Vincent.

We found the caravan park and set up, before going for a walk on the beach and along the foreshore. The weather had improved - less rain - but the wind was picking up. It was also very cold, with "feels like" temperartures in the single digits. We spent most of our time inside the camper trailer with the heater on.

On Sunday morning we went for a drive to Stansbury and managed a walk on the beach, and the jetty, despite the cold and wind. We also had coffee in a cafe near the beach before heading home. More indoor time was in order for the rest of our stay. The forecast was for the wind to start to weaken from Sunday evening.

The wind and rain continued throughout the night but we did see some blue sky on Monday morning, but it didn't last long. We ended up packing up with the canvas damp but there was really no other choice. We left Port Vincent for Marion Bay, intending to stop and look at some of the other towns on the Yorke Peninsula along the way.
