Leaving home at 1130 seems to be what we can manage without too much stress.
The odometer turned over to 222222 at about Two Wells, just after we turned off of the Port Wakefield road and headed towards our planned lunch spot at Balaklava.
We were trying to drive on roads we hadn’t taken before. We are not sure, but think that we actually mirrored at least part of the route we took another time, heading the opposite way.
We arrived in Koolunga and decided a toilet break was in order, so headed for Bunyip Park, a very pleasant little RV park in town with some decent trees and even a shower in the single toilet building!
Then on the grey top to Red Hill, where we did a brief town tour before following the highway north for a few km.
We turned to the west on another dirt road and headed across to the old school and church site at Clements Gap via the wind farm. The giant turbines were casting giant shadows in the bright sunlight on the blonde paddocks of stubble.
We remembered being here before and checked out potential camping spots for the future. The area behind the old school site is now an official RV park ( no facilities) but the scrub beyond that off of block fed road has some nice track running back in there which might be more sheltered and private for an overnight stay.
On a whim we decided to venture out to port Davis where the Broughton River is about 100m wide as it heads to the sea, with mangroves around on either side. We had a quick walk on the very short metal jetty but there was no sign of boats despite two trailers pulled up near the boat ramp. We even got treated to a rainbow.
We had a quick stop at the Pirie camping shop to fill one of our gas bottles before heading for Peter and Belinda’s place. This is where we are stopping tonight-complete with a lamb meal for Mandy Thursday at the church.
