Elliston was nice. A storm came through and the advice form will the truckie came through as I'd tied the annex down using massive pegs. Beautiful beach at Walkers Rocks, but no swell at all, and plenty of stories about great white sharks. Notwithstanding that, Ivy's frog like stance on the board got some work. Ned got out there too, but Oli was content devising indigenous inspired beach fashion ensembles, from the flotsam and jetsam he found in the sand. Look out
Left for Streaky Bay today after local advice told us to skip our planned stop. We've hit a wall of grey nomads. Glad we got here early, as the park is packed. Reversed in with minimal stress. Not even getting an audience now; kind of makes me miss the good old days of complete panic. Had to use a drill to make holes for the pegs, and it's a windy, plain site, but we're happy.
We think we'll stay here for a few days before the Nullabor crossing. Our new friends from Port Lincoln arrived today too, Ned's already talking about a sleepover! There's a couple over the road who have been playing banjo and guitar as we had dinner (local mussels, very salty, but good enough to go back for), and there's Tattoo Dude! Tattoo Dude is a bloke who camped opposite us in Port Augusta. The kids spotted him in the Flinders Ranges, and then in Port Lincoln and Elliston. Thought I'd better introduce myself so that he didn't feel we were stalking him, so I went over and asked some stupid question about inserting a 10amp plug into a 15amp socket. I didn't get fried, so Tattoo Dude is okay by me. He's certainly got a nice Harley.
