DAY 238 - 12/10/2010 - Port Lincoln, SA

Very very chilly and windy day today. Indoor activities for most of the day are on the agenda. It rains on and off and a trip to the toilet block becomes a mission.

The better part of the morning is spent on school work. Reporting is coming up and we have some catch up to do.

While everyones busy doing their own thing Lilly gets herself tangled up in a beer carton box and cannot get back up. We are alerted by her cries and rush out to find this sight. We eventually help her up and out but not before I take a photo. Funny sight.

We all go out squiding this afternoon.

Lilly loves her new fishing rod.

I go a little later than everyone else as dinner has to be organised. Alicia and Lilly retreat early because its too cold for them. Waz lasts a little longer than them but eventually gives up also.

The temperature drops 5 degrees when out on the jetty and the wind blows straight thru you. Taylah and I are the only stayers but we are having fun. I manage to catch a couple of squid.

My first squid catch.

It could of been a third but one got away cause I tried to bring it up too early. Taylah and I hang out there until 8ish but thats all we can take of the cold wind and we too retreat to the warmth of the van.

All the girls are in bed reading or sleeping by 8.30 and Waz and I snuggle in bed watching movies and drinking hot chocolate.

DAY 237 - 11/10/2010 - Streaky Bay, SA & Port Lincoln, SA

As we drive along we come across fields of wild flowers.

We left beautiful Streaky Bay this morning and drove south and around the point to Port Lincoln. The caravan park we checked into is right on the water and it has its own jetty. We are informed that squid is a popular catch off this jetty.

We quickly set up and then headed into town. We firstly drove over to the marina and it is choc full of trawlers. Next stop Repco to get brake pads for the Pajero and then the camping and fishing shop to buy some squid jigs.

There are a group of kids jumping off the towns main jetty into the water. Its pretty hot today. The temps reached mid 30's. Apparently this is unusually hot weather for October here. Mid 20's is the norm around this time. We don't care and welcome the heat.

Last stop Woolys for groceries then back home to camp.

Lilly and I get dinner organised while Waz and the girls go squidding off the jetty.

Taylah is the only one who manages to catch a squid but the girls are keen to try their hand at squidding again tomorrow. They had lots of fun.
