On the way here we stopped for a coffee break on the side of the road where there was a replica of an oil rig. Whilst we were there a car pulled up and four people got
out and started taking photos of the rig and we started talking, it turned out that three of the people were tourist from America that were being shown around our country by a guy that came from Woonona. Then when we got to the caravan park we started talking to another couple and they come from Helensburgh, so it is a small world.
After settling in we headed up to Hindmarsh Island to have a look at the mouth of the Murray, the Murray was running out into the ocean fairly fast. We called in to a fresh fish market and bought some Mullaway it was delicious.
Today we headed down to Victor Harbour and walked around the town, went out to different points and took photos of Parsons Beach, Waitpinga Beach and Newland Head, it was just a long blue ocean.
We headed home for a swim and then went to have a look at Goolwa Barrage (which is an ajustable dam) as they need to stem the flow of the water going out into the ocean and try and preserve some of the water for the various towns and to stop the salt water going into the lake.
After that we went to have a look at Goolwa Beach which is a lovely long blue strip of ocean. It was very tempting until I read the sign, Rough Surf, Strong Currents (well that was OK) BUT - Snakes (I don't think so).
Tomorrow we will head up to Milang, last year when we were there there was some lovely old beach houses with jetties and the sign on the jetties said "no diving off the jetty" what was really funny was the fact that there was no water to be seen as they hadn't had a decent lot of water go through there in years, so it should be a different story tomorrow, so it should be interesting what we might find.
