York Peninsula

The main reason for our stop in Adelaide was to go to the K D Lang concert which was absolutely awesome she has one great voice and is also a  good entertainer. It was also good to go to an entertainment center with great facility ,some thing Perth lacks all in all it was a bloody good night. While in the city we caught up with Mick & Vick to try there much raved about chicken and rice from China town and i am glad to say that it lived up to all they had raved about. It was also great to catch up M&V youngest daughter Erin as we have not seen her for 15 years.
With the Adelaide stop out of the way it was back on the road and this time it was to do the two Peninsulas York & Eyre on the way back home. Our first stop we decided was to be Parham as we had arranged to meet M&V on the york,we thought we would surprise them a little earlier than expected.With a one night stop at Parham we all move on to Ardrossan to call in on Jar & Pam Bushtracker owner's we meat at Quorn. After Ardrossan it was of to find a camp and with a bit of exploring came across a nice spot on a hill over looking the beach just north of Port Vincent.

The next camp was at Mozzie Flats which was quiet nice and being hot it was time for more swimming. Camping two nights at Mozzie Flats we were of to Innes NP to look around the southern end of the Peninsula. We all had a great time at the park with some very long rides and early morning walks. Innerston was a gypsum mine that worked from 1900s though to the 1950s and Stenhouse Bay was the port and with plenty of ship wrecks around there is a lot to see and do.
