This big white hunter is very enthusiastic since his introduction to crabbing - so Greg we blame you for this new found pursuit!! At Wallaroo new rods and reels were purchased and the goal is to provide a seafood feast for Chris and Merilyn's last evening with us. The Edithburgh expedition was successful with a catch of 3 squid and 1 fish and there are great expectations to catch more squid and crabs off the jettys on this side of the peninsula. Update ......... despite new rods, reels and lots of advice, this afternoon's session only resulted in one poor whiting: hopefully we can produce a loaves and fishes story!!
We were very successful with the loaves and fishes story as we had plenty of seafood and even have some calamari left over for tonight. Mind you, it was supplemented with some chops and chips!! The seafood was absolutely delicious - whether it's because it's freshly caught, or whether it's the lovely panko breadcrumbs or whether it was the preparation and cooking - who knows but it certainly was lovely. Now we are pushing for more squid and fish to be caught by the fishermen!
The trip to here at Wallaroo was not a long one and we stopped in Mindlaton to see the Red Baron story and his plane and we had morning tea at Port Victoria.
We arrived here at Wallaroo before lunch and set up in a grassed non powered section which once again suits us perfectly. They tell us over Easter this area is absolutely full, but right now we are spread out very comfortably! The beach here is beautiful and the towns very inviting. We all enjoyed a scrumptious Cornish Pasty at Moonta when we lashed out and bought lunch!
Mornning tea at Port Hughes:
I've probably bored and confused everyone with the tours around pointing out where my uncles, aunties, grandmas, grandpas and cousins live and used to live. I'm not sure anyone could pass a test on my family history but I think they have an understanding of the mining and agriculture of the area. The Kadina Farm Shed museum was very well received and everyone thought it was the best set up and best maintained museum they've seen. Darryl and I popped to visit my lovely Auntie Lucy - mums younger sister only 95 years old!!
This morning Chris and Merilyn left us for the long trek home. It was lovely having their company for a few days and we thank them for making the effort to join us. Darryl and Dennis are heading out to catch our Easter seafood (our second option will be to buy some from around here!) After lunch we are doing some visiting before we leave this lovely area and head away from the coast to a station stay out of Iron Knob. I've really loved showing off this beautiful Yorke Peninsula and now look forward to showing off Eyre Peninsula.
We hope everyone has a happy and safe Easter 🐥🐥.
Till our next blog, love from the travellers ❌❌❌❌❌
