Beachport Weekender
Knocked off work early Friday afternoon and headed off to Beachport SA.

Anyway, the weather was cold and windy all weekend, but that didn't take away from the relaxation factor, it may have helped it as the town was very quiet.
Saturday morning, around 8:00AM, we caught the last of the sunlight before the clouds rolled in ...

After Leaving Beachport on Sunday morning to head home, we stopped in at Southend and spent time there looking and walking. The following photos are from around the coast at Southend.

Yep it is. Took us just a little under 2 hours to get there. Don't know why we don't go there more often?? We plan to from now on.
People at the caravan park said the best time is Feb & March, weather is still warm and the kids are back at school.

Largest single man engineering feat in the known universe or similar. Bloke wanted to drain his paddock of all the goo on it so her cut a groove through a hill that was between his paddock and a lake lower down.

Don’t go claiming it as your backyard, remember there is a border you have to cross.
