James Well

How fortunate we were to find this lovely campsite at James Well!! We’ve had a lovely few days here with Anne and Greg at their shack. We thank you for your kind hospitality.

                                  
We set up before Greg and Anne arrived - we’d even had time to try and catch a squid on the Ardrossan Jetty - with no success! I undertook the 10km ‘Walk the Yorke’ from here and enjoyed marching along with lovely views of the coast. This is the view from the lookout.
                                
I think  Darryl was pleased to see me arrive as he was a bit over the non show of squid! We were smart in buying some from Wallaroo so we had back up. Freshly cooked salt and pepper squid is delicious 😋
We were happy to see Anne looking so well - she had enjoyed a few days relaxation in Daylesford with her sister Narelle with some special cuddles from her grandchildren in Darwin before that. 
The men have had several tries at those jolly squid but all to no avail!! Greg’s even gone off with Dennis now despite the Crows  playing footy!! 
          

It looked like the whole day was going to be wet and dreary so we made the most of the conditions to all help to make a batch of pasties - and Dennis made his long awaited apple pie. This one was sure of award winning standard - thanks Dennis! 

                              We’ve now left Yorke Peninsula and enjoyed a beautiful scenic drive and learned that there is a lake at Lochiel and Port Germein has the longest wooden jetty in Australia. There are also many of these old relics dotted through the paddocks in SA.
         
Now we are set up in this very picturesque spot at Spear Creek, nestled at the foot of the southern Flinders Ranges where we can undertake some lovely walks. 





We hope like anything that some rain has fallen where it’s needed - only a little bit was recorded at James Well and we believe the most was around Woomera. We trust everyone is well, and till our next blog, send our love.
