I oouldn't resist taking a few photos her at Pt Clinton as this reminds me of a watercolour landscape painting

We spent a few days in the beautiful little seaside town of
Port Vincent.  This little town is on the eastern coast of

On the road with a few trucks

Yorke Peninsula, South Australia.



Port Vincent is about 200 km from Adelaide and on our way we passed through a few small towns.

Some signs along the way

We stopped at Port Clinton for morning tea and I managed to
get some photos before the rain set in.

We arrived at Port Vincent before lunch and after meeting our friends we set up the caravan and were happy with the site as it was level, had a cement slab and some grass as well, so we are happy campers!  We don't always get 3 out of 3.

We spent the rest of the afternoon catching up with the rest of our group of friends and having a few drinks before we had dinner.  We all did our own thing for tea and then met in the Camp Kitchen for a few more drinks and coffee.

Golden Canola on Yorke Peninsula

On Sunday we drove to another town, well not really a town anymore, Bublacowie,  and had a visit to a private museum.  It was incredible and the work done by one man and a few volunteers was amazing.  Chris showed us through his collection of military, world war 1 & WW2 as well as the Korean war artefacts and the Vietnam war memorabilia.  The photos are only a small part of his huge collection.

Chris giving us some facts and figures

Chris has such an amazing collection and he has done it all without much outside help or without any Government funding.  I am not sure how he will keep it going, but it is definitely a credit to him and the few volunteers.  He also has accommodation for war veterans and has school students come for day visits.  He is a wealth of knowledge and every single artefact has a story which he tells with great enthusiasm and humour.
