We have had 2 nights at Port Germein in the caravan park. Monday night was tea at the pub, where we had fish and chips at the bar. It was tasty and the fish moist - called "butter fish" but we think shark.
The next day we went on the jetty built in 1881 a short distance of 1.5 kms (yes it was a long walk!)
We carried the crabs pots and fishing rod for bait and some supplies. We walked out there with Kiernan
the fellow from the Ulysses club we had met in Point Lowly. All in all we got about 20 crabs and watched the most magnificent sunset ( I was sad because I didn't have my camera and the camera in my phone has stopped working ) but it was enjoyed. Lots of people out at the end of the jetty, kids swimming, people using their trolleys to take gear out and lots of chatting with different nationalities.
Then there was the walk back......in the dark only 1 light on the jetty that worked, and we are sure as the tide came in the jetty had got longer. Back and then to cook the crabs and eat tea.....a late one 11.30pm....but a good night.
We arrived at Crystal Brook (a dry Brook) but a nice little spot although a little warm. Thursday we went 22 kms to Port Pirie and had the outboard motor serviced, a puncture (slow leak) repaired and got some new windscreen wiper blades.....a cup of tea and a chat with Kiernan whom we had met at the wharf.
When we returned to Crystal Brook we cruised passed the bakery.....yes we did stop and a great multigrain loaf....and did a mention a yummy pastie for lunch @ 3pm. We had drinks with Carol and Pete (we had also met them at Point Lowly), very pleasant sitting outside, but the time disappears and we didn't come back to Tim to cook tea till after 8 pm.
Today has been a lazy one, we have been dyeing some scarves and watching ODI cricket. There is alot of bird life here....Noisy Corellas, miner birds, magpies and the Kookaburras serinade us in the evening. Off to Clare Valley tomorrow and a local market.
