Finally - another quickie

 After a few moths of hellish restrictions that seemingly were designed only to spread the load in our under staffed hospitals (thanks for nothing Covid), we were allowed out.

Another public holiday Monday is about to arrive, so we jumped in the car, hooked up the van and headed an hour south to Cape Jervis - a very under whelming park that appears to be basically a stopover for people taking the most expensive 45 minute ferry ride to Kangaroo Island.
We were there however because it was cheap, not crammed full with a thousand screaming kids, and because it was close to the sea, meaning I could pack a fishing rod again!


The local farmers paddock in the approach to the park is reasonably famous for a diplay showing how NOT to park your van. I still manage a smirk every time I drive past


Saturday was glorious weather so we went for some scenic drives through the nearby Deep Creek Conservation Park, plus some fishing (And when I say fishing, I mean pouring $30 of bait into an empty ocean and losing 8 hours of our lives that we wont get back)
However, as we all know, spending a day fishing for nothing beats any day working.




Despite the lack of success at fishing (I guess that is why they don't call it catching???), it was a well earned break from the chaos of Covid restrictions that has plagued us so far this year.

The happy part of packup this time was knowing that July school holidays were only a month away at which time we were heading up north to the Flinders Ranges - sooooo looking forward to that trip.
