Time to leave the Island...nearly

We headed back to Penneshaw on Sunday planning to stay just one night but we were so impressed with the position of the caravan park we decided to stay an extra day. The park manager was driving out as we turned up. He was heading to the main land for a few nights so we paid him and then he left.

Skateboard park next door where the kids went crazy on their scooters and we could sit and watch from our site.

We went for a walk around the town which took about 5 minutes and stopped in at the pub. The position was incredible directly overlooking the ocean across to South Australia.

The view from our camp site was amazing and that night TJ and I just sat and listened to the water wash up in the bay.

Monday we did some school work then headed out to Cape Willoughby lighthouse and stopped in at a couple of wineries on the way back.

The rest of the day was spent close to our van although we did get invited to the holiday home of a couple of people we had met at the cave's tour a few days earlier and then bumped into in Penneshaw. They were staying just up the road from us and we went down to try one of the wines we had bought and the kids played pool and watched some TV. Huong had set the table and it looked more like a birthday party than a casual drop in....the kids ate stacks and we all really enjoyed the evening.

So Tuesday we were on the 10.30 ferry heading back to the mainland after an absolutely fantastic time on KI. I snapped a couple of pictures from our campsite early in the morning.

The trip back was a little rougher than the one coming over and both Lincoln and Milly were a little off colour although we had the sick bags at the ready they weren't needed.

Then it was back onto the mainland and back to Victor Harbor. We headed straight for the VIC and was warned of a severe storm due later that afternoon and decided to get a cabin for a couple of nights and enjoy the warmth and comfort (TJ was most excited about an internal toilet). The first night was spent in a cabin that was not quite up to par so we were upgraded to their luxury cabin for night two which meant even more space, comfort and an even bigger TV.

Today we finally brought closure to our Murray River section of the adventure and went to the Murray Mouth in Goolwa.

We were all excited to get to this point and have enjoyed following the river from start to finish. We have camped next to it, fished in it, washed our selves in it, learnt about it and its uses ...the kids even bathed in it in the caravan park in Echuca which used the river water in their bathrooms.

Now we leave it and have arrived in Adelaide and are staying in a caravan park right on the beach near Port Adelaide.

Life is fantastic!!!!
