Fisherman's Point - Lincoln National Park

Looking down from the camping area.

Oh me, Oh my.  There are so many wonderful spots in the Lincoln National Park.  So far, I have only touched on a few and let me tell you - they do not dissapoint! 
This might be one of my favourites.  Accessible by 2WD it's about 30mins into the National Park.  This point is set about 10-15 metres above sea level.  It's secluded by shrubbery and almost has 360 views of the ocean.  It sits right above a lovely peaceful bay.  You can light campfires, set up camp, relax, swim, fish, walk on the beach and just enjoy.  What more could you possibly need?

Pretty nice huh?

Crystal clear...

Tumby Bay

SELF DRIVE:  44mins/49km ex PORT LINCOLN

Tumby Bay front beach

Tumby Bay is a really quiet, cute little town.  Most of the buildings look like they haven't been touched since they were first erected.  Out of high summer you could be mistaken for thinking it's a bit of a ghost town - a very beautiful and peaceful one at that.  There's an quaint little shop that sells some crafty stuff and home-made blackberry jam and white chocolate and raspberry blondie (to name a few).  You can grab a beer at one of the two Hotels that have beach frontage.  If it's the morning, or your not quite ready for an alcoholic beverage there's a little cafe right on the beach. 

If you're a JJJ radio listener Tumby Bay may sound familiar to you - it hosted "One Night Stand" in 2011.

The Tumby Bay Police Station

The Town Jetty.  Not bad...

Whale Spotting @ Sleaford Bay

Today we went fishing at Wreck Beach. Unfortunately for us, the salmon were somewhere else - or they just weren't hungry? There was, however a pod of Whales splashing about in the bay. I've not enjoyed fishing so much as I have today when there are such magical creatures right in front of you. Days like these make you realise how small your problems are and how big and wonderful nature is.  I took my Canon but without the bloody memory card - once again left in my computer! Grrr. I have been making habit of that lately.  So... here are a few pics from my phone. The Whales are like tiny black specs against the sea. But oh what a magical place.
