The trip!

[cookie1]

Today we moved from Streaky Bay to Coffin Bay. The first part of the trip was through wheat country, then further on it seemed to change countryside, even though grains  are still being grown. I loved Murphy's haystacks. We also stopped and looked at some dry rock fences. They were so clever to do that. They were done round 1850 and earned 10/- for a chain and a good worker could do 2 chain a day.  We travelled about 300km today, I think. This is oyster country, but I am not an oyster fan. We also stopped off at a tiny wood fired bakery and I bought a yummy loaf.

Beautiful Cookie. I'm enjoying your trip so much.  
I don't think DH and I would survive very long together in such close quarters though.

I can't believe you went to Coffin Bay and did not eat Oysters. These are my very favourites and when we can get them up here  we pay  $ 18 a dozen.

What a beautiful interesting place. It is a foodies heaven.

Dry rock fences made me laugh! They are called dry stone walls in UK.
This is so interesting, thanks again.

This is a wonderful trip, Cookie -Thank you very much for sharing it in such a fantastic way with the armchair computer chair travellers!  Also, this thread will be a great "diary" for you to look back on when you get back home!!  Thanks again!

Where I live was a former quarry and full of red rock so a lot of houses here have dry red rock walls. I watched one man with a front end loader do all the work in the estate. He was amazing how he tossed huge rocks around to get the just right shape to match.  I'll take a pic and insert it here later.

When I was 12 I went to my friends house who lived on a farm, and her mum drove us to a place where there was tree by the side of a road. It was sundown and so we picked what we could and ate them in the car on the way home. I didn't particularly like them that much,  and it appears that I ate more unripe green ones than ripe red. Woke up suddenly in the middle of the night *blurgh* with no warning. Will never touch them again with a 10 ft barge pole.

That was a lesson learnt early on in life CP - if we eat too much or the wrong things, we pay for it one way or another.

I had a good laugh at that CP.  to this day I have never found one that didn't have grubs under the skin. I don't like them much either. I just thought they would be interesting.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. We are in Port Lincoln at the moment for the night. A big trip of 40 or so km. I haven't taken many photos as yet. Back later when it gets dark.
