After finally arriving in the dark last night to the right caravan park, the Port Lincoln Tourist Park, we were rewarded with a glorious morning of sunshine with a splendid view out across the sea towards Boston Island. Much of this Caravan Park is set on the side of a hill providing almost every camp site a view out across the bay. Port Lincoln is well known for it's commercial seafood and fishing industry hence it is known as the Seafood Capital of Australia. We all took a breather today after putting in such a long day distance of over 700km (435 miles) yesterday. We managed to find the energy to do a walk out on the pier just below our campsite before the clouds rolled in and the air |
We also saw the Makybe Diva statue on the foreshore. Makybe Diva was the first horse to win the Melbourne Cup on three consecutive occasions and was owned by Tony Santic who was a prominent tuna fisherman at Port Lincoln. Port Lincoln has a curious mix of shops, something for everyone and also a large number of cafes and restaurants. Overall a much needed quiet and relaxing day.
