Cowell
Arno Bay
Tumby Bay
An interesting day was in
front of us as we left Whyalla, we just didn't know it as we pulled
out at 9.30am.
We headed south towards
our next camping spot, which was going to be Tumby Bay about 200 kilometres
away.

| Distant ranges |
We stopped at Cowell for
morning tea and were glad to stretch our legs, walk around the town
and found a nice place on the foreshore to stop.
Next stop was Arno Bay
where we had lunch and a run along a lovely beach beside the jetty.

Unfortunately we took the
first road into Tumby Bay and found that it was completely closed
for road work. It had been raining and poor Trev had to do a turn
through thick red mud. Of course he accomplished that without problem
and we continued on.
We arrived at the caravan
park, booked in and paid, only to find out there was no WiFi. Oh well
we'll manage for a few days. Unhooking was fun, we have been given a
large site on gravel near the amenity block...sounds good...sort of
First thing that happened
was the jockey wheel immediately bogged in the deep gravel, then to
make matters worse the caravan jack didn't work. We needed to raise
the van and couldn't do it with the wheel as it wouldn't move.
Fortunately the car jack did work and we were able to stabilise the
wheel and secure the van.
THEN as Trev was coming
into the van for a much needed red, the door handle broke off!!!!!!!
And, of course we can't do anything to fix it and the door can't be
opened from the outside. Not sure what we'll do about it tomorrow,
let's sleep on it.
