We headed south down South Aus’s prettiest of peninsulas – Fleurieu Peninsula via McClaren Vale home to hundreds of hectares of vineyards (Rosemount wine fame). We knew our mates Gary and Kirsty Hall and the lads were down at Port Elliot, near Victor Harbour. We had arranged to meet up again about now after they had travelled down the middle of Aus and we down the west coast. They were’nt sure we would catch up after two near misses at Streaky Bay and Adelaide where we were supposed to meet but the timing was slightly out! Our original idea of meeting at Kangaroo Island was quashed because the ferry to get across and back was too expensive.
So we arrived at Port Elliot campsite on Horseshoe Bay around lunchtime and pitched our tent on the site next to theirs but they were out. This would be a surprise as they were’nt expecting us today. We then nipped to have a look at Port Elliot before they returned. Its a pretty historic town overlooking the harbour with historic railway station dating back to 1850’s.

We returned to the campsite and caught up with Gary and Kirsty and lads who were pleased to see us, and us them. Great to see them again and catch up on all the adventures we have all had since we last saw them in late September!
