27 January 2012 - Victor Harbor

We managed to extract ourselves from Judith's at about 9.30am. Not too much in the way of kiddie collateral damage to Judith's lovely house. It was great not to have to pack the camper trailer up before getting on the road. Staying in a house for a few days was very re-energising but it will be great to get back to camping now.

The drive to Victor Harbor was roughly 3.5hrs and a nice uneventful drive. We had to travel back through Adelaide. A car had rolled off the freeway on the outskirts of town so seeing more nee naws was the highlight for Em and Lachie. This was closely followed by seeing some real life monster trucks parked just off the road in the northern suburbs.

We arrived at our camp site in Victor Harbor, right on the beach with the obligatory bouncing pillow. After some lunch, the tent did not take too long to set up, we are certainly getting much better at it. Clare took Em and Lachie for a shot on the pillow enabling me to the tent finished. After setup, we headed to the local supermarket to stock up. On the way we were fortunate enough to see the Victor Harbor Clydesdales begin walked to their overnight stables. Victor Harbor has a horse drawn tram that operates in the summer to take tourists out on the pier to Granite Island, a small island just off the coast.

Exploring Victor Harbor is on the schedule for tomorrow.
