Day 6 - 10 April 13 - April 16 - Port Neill

We enjoyed our four days at Port Neill.

Saturday 14 - We were up and out early.  We visited Port Lincoln, Coffin Bay and Tumby Bay.  All very pretty areas.  We bought Oysters at Coffin Bay.  Graham and half a dozen Oysters Kilpatrick at the shop then we came home with two dozen and we cooked them in egg and breadcrumbs.  They were very nice indeed.  At Port Lincoln there was a great statue of Makybe Diva - triple winner of the Melbourne Cup.  

Sunday 15 - The caravan park put on pancakes for breakfast today - they were very nice.  I finally caught up with some washing after a failed attempt.  The power was off in the caravan park from about 10am till 1pm.  Well I went down to the laundry put the washing in then when it would not take my money realised there was no power.  I couldn't get the washing out because it was was a front loader and the door would not open - I had to wait till the power came back on.  Then I thought I would have a shower and wash my hair - big mistake once again the power fooled me.  Anyway the power came back on after lunch so all was sorted.  

Monday 15 - Today we travelled the other way - we visited Arno Bay, Cowell and Cleve.  We looked at a free camp at Yeldnuckie Weir, pity it was not on our immediate path as it was a really good camp with very clean toilets.  We also visited another camp at Cleve - again a good camp with power, toilets and a shower. This was $10 a night.  Once again we bought some Oysters at Cowell and had them as an entree before dinner.  Arno Bay had a clever way of using old tyres - they used them to build the boat harbour.

Tuesday 16 - Another lay day around the park.  Lynne and I took Bonnie for a long walk and we found some interesting spots around Port Neill.  

We both liked Port Neill but if you are not a fisherman there is not much to do.  Most of the people that were on the park had their boat with them and would go out fishing each day.  As you would all know we are not fishermen.  The area is very pretty and we looked straight out over the bay from our caravan.
