We left our daughters in Yorketown at 10.30 this morning(we are in no hurry to
get anywhere any more lol ).With our 2 grandsons not very happy for us to be
going
We where straight into a head wind all the way up the peninsula.Didn't do the
fuel econamy any good at all
Arrived at Mallala Sports ground early afternoon.
Lovely little town and so strange coming into a 6 way intersection
Very well kept sports oval.And Camping is in the North East corner
Went to the local IGA which is very well stocked for a small country town & also
is the newsagency.
Barbara noticed the hotel on the other corner from the IGA and said she should
put $20 in the pokies,which i might add she turned into $60
Well upon entering the hotel the publican sayes to me that i look familar, i
said never been here b4,turns out he has a shack at Port Vincent where i was
chef for 10 years
Nice clean and very friendly hotel.The beer was nice and cold.First been in
weeks and probably be that long again lol .They have a $12 Tbone on Friday,$5
punters lunch on Saturday.Even said goodbye to us as we where leaving the hotel
We arrived back at the spots oval as a motorhome pulled up and asked if we ran
a genni as he does.I told him we only run solar and are selfsaficant.So he moved
away from us so not to disturb us which i thought we nice of him
Instead of unpacking the Weber babyQ from the back of the trol we used the
electric BBQ(free) near the tennis courts which where so clean your would think
it was new which it isnt
We will see what tomorrow brings we are staying a few days i think
Need to get Electrol roll as on the road full time sorted

And welcome from me too. I have family at Edithburgh who shop at Yorketown. I've spent family time there from time to time. Nomadding is a good life. Doing it in short steps is a great way to absorb wherever you are.
