We woke to overcast skies and fog – hopefully it would burn off. We had a little time to grab the geocaches around Port Bonython and Point Lowly. It was a good drive along Cuttlefish Drive with it culminating at the lighthouse at Point Lowly.
There were some very expensive “shacks” here but you have to wonder if they have over capitalised considering they back onto the Port Bonython petro-chemical facility.
Made a phone call to the rest of the High Rangers and they weren’t far behind so it was off to the main road to meet them. We couldn’t have timed it better as we met at the junction of the Whyalla Road.
A quick diversion to the Whyalla Visitor Centre to regroup and rest stop and it was back on the road heading south.
Next stop was Cowell, checking out the Black Stump, then lunch at the jetty from the local bakery. By this time we had blue skies and ironically the sun was really biting and we would have welcomed some cloud cover.
Upon reaching Port Lincoln the group divided as not all were camping in the Lincoln National Park. We were camping at the north eastern tip of the park in a spot called Richardson’s Shack. The campsite was up on a cliff top overlooking Boston Bay with a white sand beach and clear water.
We were one of the last to choose a campsite and I think we were lucky to get the million dollar views that everyone else missed. 🙂
Time to set up the camper trailer, cook some tea, enjoy a spectacular sunset over Boston Bay then a few beverages around the campfire. A great finish for the day.
