The guys cleaning more fish

AN aaf

Another shot of the guys with some of the catch of the day...

Brian and Skippy cleaning some of the evening catch,Venus Bay S.A

Photo is a bit dark cause it was taken at 8pm.This is just a few of the fish they caught in the afternoon fishing session, oh by the way thats not all of them ,theres heaps more in the esky yet to be cleaned.. They really had a good day out there, so good infact that its now 8 am in the morn and they have gone out already on the boat for another days fishing...Too hot for little ol me I much prefer to stay in motorhome with the aircon going .....

Pelicans at Venus Bay Caravan Park S.A

These georgous creatures were all lined up like little soldiers at the fish cleaning area in the caravan park.. All waiting for the fisherman to clean and fillet his prized catch of the day and hoping he will toss them the scraps, which of course he does...They are so used to seeing people clean their fish in this area that as soon as they see anybody there with their catch up they come a running, looks so funny....

Abalone Beds near Talia S.A

Abalone Farms at Talia Beach in S.A...

Oyster Farming at Coffin Bay S.A

We spent the nite here and had no idea there was an Oyster Farm right under our noses so to speak until the next morning when all these tractors with these funny looking boats started to arrive....We soon got out our cameras and started clicking..Im glad Brian didnt park at the spot I had chosen at this place cause we would have been right on top of the spot where they drive these things into the water...Now wouldn't that have been lovely...lol....

Ben Hall's Grave at Forbes N.S.W

Ben Hall the bushranger is buried here in Forbes Cemetry and also is Ned Kelly's sister Kate.....

Parked at Talia S.A

This tractor is what they use to put the boats into the water to check the Abalone Beds here at Talia . We parked next to them and walked down to the beach to take a few photos...

Rocks in Paddocks S.A

This is what the paddocks look like around Elliston towards the coast..Now you know why the farmers had to build all these rock fences because how else were they going to get rid of these rocks when they clear their land...Now you understand why when I said there are lots and lots of rock fences in this area of S.A...

Marina at Port Lincholn, S.A

A part of the Marina here in Port Lincholn S.A We had a lovely lunch here at the restuarant.. All the boat tours leave from here..

Our Motorhome parked at Port Lincholn Harbour S.A

We parked at the harbour while we went off and had lunch at the Marina..

Brian at Woolshed Caves,Talia. S.A

Brian walking down the steps to the Woolshed Caves, not me I stayed up the top where I was nearly blown away from the winds that were coming off the Great Australian Bight.

Rock Fences S.A.

This is are very facinating to see paddocks done with all this type of rock fencing. The paddocks are so full of rocks that from a distance you would think it was snow. The story I was told was that in the olden days for the farmer to be able to make use of his land he had to clear it of all these rocks.They had to get rid of these rocks somehow so they decided to put them to good use and started building fences with them...Many of this sort of fencing is still standing to this day..This photo was taken between Elliston and Venus Bay, Eyre Peninsula S.A...

Woolshed Caves at Talia S.A

The steps leading down to the Woolshed cave near Talia, and the veiw from the top. It was so windy and dusty the day we were here..The wind was blowing the dust in sheets. This is on the Great Australian Bight ...

Salt Flats at Eyre Peninsula S.A

Would you believe that white you see in the background of this photo is all salt. Its an amazing sight to see. We were driving along and I could see all this white in the distance and asked Brian if it was sand or salt..As we got closer to it I took this pic while we were driving so if its not quite clear thats the reason why ok....

Louth Bay S.A.

Louth Bay has so much beautiful scenery..The houses in the background all overlook the sea.

Campsite at Louth Bay Eyre Peninsula S.A

Here we are again at the Louth Bay campsite...It only cost $5 per nite per van/mothorhome.. We are going to stay 2 nites here then head further south down to Port Lincholn.

Brian checking his camera

Took this pic of Brian while he was checking out his camera here in Louth Bay S.A..

Louth Bay S.A..

Thisis just one of the magnificant cliffs around Louth Bay here in S.A... Its a very small beachside town, so small theres no local shop at all .. There is a Golf Club which opens for 3 hours late into the afternoon and thats it..

Tumby Bay S.A.

Just another snapshot of one of the streets in Tumby Bay. S.A

A Pub in Tumby Bay

There are 2 pubs at Tumby Bay. S.A...We had a pensioner lunch here and a great meal for only $7 each. Now thats good value for money. All the pubs over here have this old world charm about them, so full of character....Looking at this photo your probably thinking I may have had a few too many when I took this cause I had no idea it was crooked. And to put your mind at rest NO I didnt have any alcahol I only had a raspberry drink with my lunch....lol...

Tumby Bay Jetty

One

thing I have noticed over here along the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia is that the jetties are very very long...This jetty at Trumby Bay is very long but have no idea how long...

Shop in Tumby Bay S.A

Tumby Bay is a quaint little seaside town along the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia...This is the local grocery shop combined with the newsagency... We brought a few groceries in there today and its quite expensive....

Murray Cod Statue

Would'nt you like to catch a fish this size hey. Well you cant catch this one but you certainly can see it if you come to Swan Hill in Victoria...

Paddle Steamer in Mildura

This is a photo of the Paddle Steamer we went on for a 2 hour cruise up the Murray River here in Mildura, Victoria...

Fruit Disposal Bin sign

This is one of the signs you see when you enter Victoria.. Any fruit or vegetables you happen to be carrying with you when you enter this state has to by Victorian law be placed in the bins provided because its illegal in this state to bring in any fruit or vegetabes from another state.. This is to prevent the fruit fly and its because of these strict rules that Victoria is a fruit fly free state....

Crystal Brook Historical Bank

This is a photo of the old Historical Bank in Crystal Brook S.A.. It's not used as a bank anymore and have no idea what they use this building for now days.

Crystal Brook Old Museum

This apparently used be a group of shops here in Crystal Brook S.A but is now being used as the local museum...

Crystal Brook S.A

This is a photo of the main street, and thats it no other shops. A small country town about 200 klms north of Adelaide. S.A....Brian and I spent nearly a week here in this town staying with some friends.. A typical small country town.

Wallaroo Beach on the Yorke Peninsula S.A

This is a very pretty beach at Wallaroo on the York Peninsula ,S.A.. We spent 2 days at the caravan park.

Whyalla Ship Monument

This is a huge ship at Whyalla S.A

Port Pirie S.A

This is part of the port here and behind that is the main street with all the shops.. A very pretty place, we spent a few days here cause this is where Brian comes from and all his family live here.

Red Cliffs

This is a photo Brian took down along the beach here at Port Gibbon S.A. The sandhills are so bright red, very amazing.

Mr Seal

Meet Mr Seal, we found him sitting all alone on the beach here at Port Gibbon in S.A

This is our campsite at Port Gibbon.S.A and thats our motorhome in the background with our washing on the line .. See Pluto in front of that car, hes so cute with his thongs on and his sun hat lol..

Pluto

Hey check this dude out. He's called Pluto and he the honesty box here at Port Gibbon...The idea of pluto is that when you camp here you toss a few coins into his mouth so that the locals can use that money to keep this camping area nice and clean ....Check out his thongs and his hat.. so so cute .. but the cactus in the background makes him look like that he has more arms then an octopus lol
