VH to Cape Jervis to Gawler


Left Victor Harbor today  and thought I should take a pic of the brilliant gear for the kids from water play, bouncing mat, tracks for riding and huge water slide.  There was also a games room to keep children entertained!  We wanted to visit Cape Jervis (as we were only 56km away) but we knew the weather forecast was not great which then influenced our decision not to go to Kangaroo Island, although we have been told by relatives and friends who have visited there that it is lovely!  It was a drive reminiscent of the mountains in Tasmania and the views.  We were a tad disappointed with the little hamlet as it was a bit like squatter fishermen’s houses to a large extent and it all appeared haphazard.  There were no welcoming signs to the town or anything that would encourage me to go and catch the ferry.  However, I had read somewhere just before our trip that they were offering free return fares over this winter period.

As the weather was patchy, very windy and squally with rain, so we then decided to head to Mr Barker (namesake of where Bart was born in WA…)  but it was quite a large town and we pulled up in a parking lot behind the pub.  We got out, saw a sign for the grocery store of ALDI which we then could not find even after following indicators through an arcade!!  So we left and headed towards Gawler.  The hills, mountains and winding roads were again very similar to the areas heading into Cradle Mountain in Tassie.  We even saw a large koala heading into someone’s backyard!
