Happy Valentines Day!!

We pack up and head in the direction of Port Lincoln, we are not sure yet where we will stay. Stuck our head in Coffin bay but decide to keep going to Port Lincoln. We drive through a v small town\roadhouse called Sharinga. Prompted by a $5 doz of oyster sign we turned around and head back. What a lovely surprise, there is an awesome beer garden which reminds us of Bali and could have quite easily sat in there all day eating oysters and drinking bottle of wine, alas we don’t have the time so we decide to get oysters and keep going. We get 2 dozen unshucked oysters and are convinced by a local to give the prawns ago, so we order a kilo of them too. We got to chatting to the couple who run the place and Fred has dally with the soccer ball with the owner. We are about to head off when we are summoned out back where he gives us a massive crayfish, our jaws drop and we can not believe the generosity. We will certainly have a lovely Valentine’s dinner. Great spot and will definitely be back on our next journey, there is a basic campsite, fishing tours and quad biking on offer.  Definately if you have the time, stop in for some great hospitality and a cool spot to have lunch.

We arrive in Port Lincoln and check in at the caravan park on the foreshore and decide to stay in a cabin. The cabin view was spectacular with uninterrupted views of the Spencer Gulf. Glad for this as there are not may trees here and it would be hot during day and its also bitterly windy and cold at night. I have to say when you drive 600 - 800 kms a day a friendly greeting at your destination makes it all worthwhile. Unfortunately I will take this opportunity to say all 4 staff we came into contact with were horrible, rude, overly efficious, dirty looks instead of smiles and very unhelpful. Rotten attitudes and we will not stay here again despite view, there is another caravan park further around the foreshore which will will check out next time. 

Had a wonderful feast of seafood for dinner, oysters natural, oysters kilpatrick, prawns with home-made thousand island dressing and we picked at the cray but too full to eat the tail.
