South Australia 19 - 23 November 2011

                                                  

We left Ceduna headed for Streakey Bay; left our van and drove down to Point Labbot a mainland Australian Sealion Colony. Andrew and Chloe at the lookout at the top of the cliffs.


The sealions at the bottom!We stayed for about an hour and watched the sealions interact.
It was quite amazing seeing the males fight over the girls, the cubs follow and feed from their mothers and couples lazing on the beach stretched out along the coastline.

We heard about a rock (Pildappa Rock) that was similar to Wave Rock in WA so we thought we'd check it out.

It wasn't a bad impression!


About 50 km from Pildappa Rock were the Organ Pipes at Gawler National Park.

Chloe and Ian on the rocks.

Jesuit Church at Sevenhill Winery, the oldest winery in Clare Valley.

Belgian Chocolate Fountain in one of the shops on the main street in Hahndorf....just pretending to indulge but they did get a taste shortly after.

The kids got to put a punnet of strawberries under the fountain.
We think they were meant to just get a topping of chocolate but Andrew and Chloe did it very carefully and slowly so it actually filled the container with chocolate!

Doesn't get any better!!!!


Our last stop in SA was Mt Gambier. This is the Sinkhole sunken garden.

Blue Lake Mt Gambier.
During December to March, the lake turns to a vibrant cobalt blue colour, returning to a colder steel grey colour for April to November.
