Julia Bay /Yorke Peninsula 27/6/12

Yes we are still here but there is so much to see here.The crumbling stone cottages everywhere,the barley and wheat fields just shooting showing huge fields of green helped by the days of rain and now at last sunshine again.
Have spent nights on clifftops,beside jettys,in a truck marshalling area,and last night in a council run park with  a few others at $6 a night with good toilets bbq and fresh water.Met the other campers around campfire last night until cold crept in and sent us back to our cosy nest.

Val has just cooked brekky and smells amazing so I had better finish this and join her.
