Well the day started, after my usual walk this time along the beach below our camp, with a long chat with our host Peter. He was one of the guys who gave us the fish yesterday and it turns out that he owns the ocean front property that included our camp. He called past to see if we used the fish and we had a long chat about his plans for the property which consists of 8 lots plus the one we were camped on. He also owns the farm bordering the lots, it is a family farm which is now leased out as he has sort of retired.

We then headed south along the main road detouring a couple of kms to a place called Lipson. It was a very old settlement and as we stopped to photograph a beautiful old church we were waved down by a man called John. It turned out that he is part of the local progress group and proudly showed us over the two local halls. One was fairly ordinary but the other was a treasure trove of history including very nice pressed tin ceiling, a protruding wooden stage and lots more.

Tumby Bay was next, another pretty town on a very pretty coastline. Unfortunately all these towns are more suitable for and are geared to provide for summer holiday makers. You know the usual dive, swim, fish with a little bit of exploring and therefore does not have a lot for us to see.

Then on to the Kippio Smithy Museum about 25 kms of unsealed but ok road off the main highway. The scenery on the way was breathtaking rolling green hills with the ocean in the background. The museum itself is a National Trust Museum and was well worth the few hours that I spent in it. Elaine did not join me in the museum, instead making jaffles in the van. Included in the very extensive museum was a well set up print shop which reminded me, strongly, of my years in the printing business. There was also a 1937 Chevrolet like the one my parents had, almost as this was a four door and ours was a two door coupe. Then I spent time looking at a big collection of tractors and motors which interested me and occupied a lot of my time.

Then we looked for a camp, the first one was not suitable and we went on to where we have now camped at the Louth Bay campground. There are lots of these campgrounds in the Penninsula and they all charge minimum money and provide minimum facilities, which suits us and lots of people like us perfectly.
