Winter Journey

Curramulka
Port Victoria
Maitland
Ardrosson

Another touring day on the Yorke, the long straight roads through flat farmland have become familiar.
Our first stop was Curramulka, we walked around the deserted village admiring the stunning old houses and cottages. Lots of history has been preserved here and the residents seem to take a lot of pride in their properties and gardens. I didn't see any shops or stores, just the pub. There is a free camp with toilets and water at the community centre.

Continuing onto Port Victoria, it's a fairly large holiday town. It has a pub (of course!) and general store small supermarket and a cafe. The caravan park is on the edge of the cliff overlooking Point Pearce Aboriginal land and Wardang Island. It was windy today and not very pleasant being out of the car. There's a new boat ramp and lots of parking, I'm pretty sure this place would be buzzing in the summer.

Very windy at the caravan park in Port Victoria today


Our next stop was Maitland, we stopped and visited 2 op shops then continued on to Ardrossan for a lunch break on top of the red cliffs on the edge of town. Its a lovely little spot with all the shops you could need. We restocked our fridge and pantry at Food Land but unfortunately didn't see the caravan park.

Stunning view at Ardrosson

When I first saw this Viterra Silo from a distance
 I thought it was a European castle.

Travel day tomorrow...next stop Port Pirie.
