We’re currently sitting on the beachfront at Port MacDonnell CP.
Pleasant sea breeze, sound of the surf to lull us to sleep...
Life’s tough. 😜

Ray, What's it like down that way. I haven't done the coast road from Portland up to Adelaide yet.
Cheers

Picturesque, pleasant drive. Lots to see & do. Well worth a visit!
We’re overnighting in Penola, heading back to the coast tomorrow to see Robe & Kingston SE.

We packed our bathers in anticipation of swimming weather...
Forecast for the next week is rain.
Waste of space... 😩

Camped up at Wrights Bay now.
Drove around Robe but didn’t get out of the vehicle!
Raining sideways.. windy enough to blow the stripes off a ginger cat! 😳
Rain so heavy driving we had to slow to 50km/h in places, with wipers unable to cope.
Might sit out the storm here...🤭
Regards & God bless,

Looking forward to seeing ALL of Kingston SE tomorrow.
On our last visit we saw only the hospital & a panel shop yard.
Son-and-heir, then 18 (now 39), and a fellow P-plated mate rolled his month-old brand new second hand Lancer just out of town en route to Adelaide. Rolled it three times! Local farmer saw headlights flashing in directions they shouldn’t and came to their aid while his wife called the ambulance.
Seeing two uni-aged boys, he advised them that the police would automatically attend, so if they had anything on board they didn’t want the fuzz to find, to dispose of it now.
The only thing they had in the car was a kilogram of M&Ms.... which had laid an 800m trail from the road to the inverted car! 😁
Both boys came away with minor scratches & bruises. But the panel beater said the only salvageable part of the Lancer was the left indicator repeater lens!
Turned out the cause was slow leak in the right rear tyre, which I had pointed out to them before they set off. They pumped it up, but were not sufficiently experienced to detect the softening tyre’s effect on cornering. They both do now...
Regards & God bless,
Ray
