GUSTY GOOLWA

 

We headed north along the coastline passing through Robe which was really nice, and found a lovely free camp on Lake Alexandra near the Coorong.

This is the only inland lighthouse in Australia.  In the 1800’s people would travel by boat from Adelaide, come through Lake Alexandra & Albert to stock up on supplies & head down to Melbourne.

We arrived on the Fleurieu Peninsula, which is full of vineyards,  and finally stopped at Goolwa.  Blowing a gale, we spent the rest of the day stuck in the caravan.

Look what we came back with when we went shopping!  It was as yummy as it looks too!  We went for a drive along the beach to where the Murray meets the ocean. Surprised how narrow the mouth is.  Locals were collecting Goolwa Cockles. With shovels & rakes they were in a foot of sand trying to retrieve their bait. Keen!
