Winter Journey


Yorke Peninsula

From our base at the Port Vincent caravan park we started to explore the peninsula today.
First stop after driving though fairly flat farming land with the sea on our left was Stansbury.
Red cliffs at the Stansbury Marina

Lookout and gardens overlooking the gulf.

where we stopped to admire the view from the lookout and the wonderful cliff edge homes. The red cliffs at the mariner were amazing, the long pier over the gulf of St Vincent was worth seeing too. 

Another long jetty


The sleepy village of Coobowie was the proud owner of the amazing murals on the side of the local bakery and store.





Next stop was Edithburgh where we loved the historic stone homes and drove out to the wind farm which was huge and in a typical very windy spot.


Final stop on the way home today was Minlaton, another historic town, the home of the Harry Butler Memorial with his plane the Red Devil. It's a beautiful old town with buildings that reflect a bygone era.

Catholic Church

Unloved and deserted pub, right in the middle of town.
