Winter Journey

Port Neil





As you can see the day started off well with the caravan door giving Trev and a neighbour lots of grief. Finally a decision was made to leave broken door as it is and find an expert somewhere on our travels.
Then a perceived problem with the car turned out to be a false alarm with a mechanic saying “ I can't see any oil leaks, so don't worry about it Mate, she'll be right”. Fortunately we had no further problems so hope he's right.

We went to Port Neil which was closed as are many of the small towns and settlements in this area at this time of year. There is a lovely park on the foreshore with a beautiful newly planted garden. We sat in the sun and had our picnic there looking over the water. We drove along the “scenic drive” which only took a few minutes and ended up at the Roger Cox lookout which did give spectacular views of the area.

We drove back to Tumby on back roads, passing through Ungarra, Lipson and picturesque farmland. We sat in the late afternoon sun before the cold drove us into the heated caravan.
