Port Lincoln

G'day Mates!

At this moment we are in Perth and having fun with our daughter Sheila so I don't have time for long stories so here is a short one;

This is my story a month ago;

It's the 24 th of February and we just left port Lincoln. We had a great week there, the caravan park was amazing and besides the last two days, which was very windy and cold, we had lovely weather.

We had to stay a whole week as between Arno bay and Port Lincoln we damaged our awning and so we had to wait for a new one. Actually we already wanted to go to that caravan repairer in Port Lincoln because there was something wrong with our roof and it seemed to be the gas-struts so on the first day they already put new ones on. This company, John Martin, is very good so if you ever have caravan problems and cruising around Port Lincoln, there is were you go!

This is also a way of camping...

The caravan park is a bit out of town but there is a great path along the ocean which you can walk from the park to town and is approx. 3,5 k's. 

Very nice, they also lead you through the port and as we walked there the first time they were unloading fish from the fishing boats into trucks. The fish seemed to be Sardines which is in Australia a bit of an underdog. They use it for bait and food for other big fish like Tuna, Dolphins etc....

When we were watching and me of course taking pictures and movies, an old guy with a beard and long hear came to us and asked if we like Sardines and of course, yes we do but you can hardly buy them in a normal supermarket, only as bait.  Then he said, " just wait a minute and I'll get you some", so he took off to one of the ships and after approx. 10 minutes he came back with a plastic bag half full with Sardines. He wanted to give them all but I said it's too much for just the two of us so he kept half and I took half.

The way back to the caravan park;

When we got home Fred cleaned the Sardines and put them in a bag with olive oil and a lot of garlic and the next day we ate them as lunch, OMG they were lovely.

After our adventure in Bali I bought myself a snorkel set not thinking about all the dangerous creatures living in the oceans around Australia.....

Movie time

I thought I might never dare to use it but sturdy as I am (?), I did! Even though I had seen this guy catching this thing ;

On Monday, before leaving Port Lincoln, we went passed John Martin and within one hour we had our new awning mounted.

See ya next time!!

Cheers!
