Port Lincoln National Park

We decided to drive right through to Port Lincoln as we had heard that the National Park was well worth a visit. We came into the parkl and  as it was Friday and we thought that maybe all the good camp spots might be limited. We chose Fishermans Point camp which is 28kms into the park and were surprised to find most of the road was tar sealed unlike the map we had but good news.
On arriving there was only 1 other caravan and so we had lots of great spots to chose from. Our choice was overlooking a beautiful beach high on a cliff with the walkway down to the beach right by us. It was such lovely place that we guessed we'd be here for over 3 days.We set up and then unhooked the cruiser so we could go into town(Port Lincoln) to stock up and buy a South Australian National camp pass.
Relaxing after dinner
 It is such good value at $72 for 2 months we can stay in parks for 5 nights at each and there are about 20 National Parks and Conservation Parks so we will get lots of use.
I have already had a swim, the temperature was 32deg yesterday so that was my first swim in weeks. This bay is wonderful for walking in and we have had 3 different yachts come in and anchor.We have also met some lovely people and enjoyed happy hour or two with the other 2 couples sharing lots of travel stories . The couple parked near us are from Melbourne, he is a Fijian Indian and she is Italian and they are good fun. I think it will be hard to leave here!!!  and the wind is not too bad either at present, we are sheltered a bit.
