Port Lincoln, South Australia.

We moved on from Port Lincoln Caravan Park where we all headed into town to do house work for the vans and some street shopping for Les and myself before heading back to arrange dinner and enjoy a game of Scrabble or two with Les and Stew.   Daniel  and I also checked out a couple of the advertised fish outlets.  They were fantastic and we bought a few supplies to fill our freezer with some of the local treats of Coffin Bay Oysters, Shark and Tuna fillets, Basa fillets, Calamari and Octopus that would all be consumed along the way in the event Daniel's fishing attempts weren't successful.

Daniel took time out to practice his guitar skills, with some help from Stew on reading chords and a few technique tips.  Very impressed I was with his hidden talents! 

No sooner than the van cleaned, prepared, stocked and laundry done, did I mention shopping completed with a new pair of bathers and a top.....all bargains... no more than twenty bucks!!  then it was time to move on  to free camping at Port Lincoln National Park where camp sites were pitched and beach weather ready. 

Daniel caught one that got away and Stew caught a huge Flathead.  Oysters were the meal of the day!  Picturesque views of the Park and the camp grounds were dotted with about three other vans.  Lots of kangaroos to be seen, not really bike terrain.  Time to pack up and keep moving west. 

Les and Stew had to stay behind for repairs to their fridge.  We promised to catch up along the way.  "Parting is such sweet sorrow" especially when you meet folk that are great company.
