'Sitting on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll in......... ' We are in fact on the shores of the beautiful Fitzgerald Bay, in front of us is a shingle beach with sparse mangrove trees, with the tide coming in, we are on a strip of flat ground above the tide line and behind us is what looks like a retaining wall. It is a shingle mound that, according to the story board has been dated as 30,000 years old! In the distance is a view over the waters of the head of the Spencer Gulf to ranges in the background and in the middle ground 5 aquaculture enclosures. Rather nice!
Today we drove about 17 kms to move about 10 kms north of last nights camp and the difference is like chalk and cheese. There we had a very practical surround of houses (and shacks) and a refineryand a very long jetty, here we have pristine waters, a few fellow campers, spread around the bay a few buildings and rolling hills. Personally I could stay here for a long time but I suspect that my driver will be hard pushed to survive more than a couple of days.
