The Coorong

Friday, Mar. 20

As we left Robe, we pasted through Kingston, the home of the giant crayfish. We stopped there for lunch and I indulged in a Crayfish Kabab. (Mmmmmmmmmmmmm).

We then ended up at 42 mile crossing where we set down tent pegs for the night then ventured along the 5km walk to see the ocean. This we could have driven with suitable vehicle preparation but we decided to walk this one.

Onward to Victor Harbour but before leaving the Coorong we stopped at the old Chinaman’s well to check out what was there. No water….

On the way out of the Coorong we found water so grabbed this pick,

Next stop was Wellington where, unlike Kangaroo Island, we caught the free ferry across the Murray River before stopping there for lunch.

Shortly after (after avoiding countless wineries) we arrived in Victor Harbour where we stay in a Van Park. She was a windy night, Thar She Blows.
