Collected the trailer from storage in Mount Barker and we met up with Jo, Paul and Liam just outside of Willunga. Easy drive into Victor. Booked into the park and set up, Angie and Leon also joined us and were in the process of putting the roof on their outback camper.
It was hot! hovering in the high 30’s and low 40’s (celsius).
Victor Harbour is the place most South Australians go to for short holidays, sometimes it is the only place they go to for holidays. A nice town of about 12,000 population with Granite Island just offshore which is accessed by a long jetty. There is a colony of Fairy Penguins on Granite Island which are protected.
As children we spent many holidays at Victor with Mum and Dad, so there are lot’s of memories of here. One strong memory I have is what happened when I was 15 years old behind the cabins at the very park we are staying at now with the Policeman’s daughter……………, but that’s another story.
Went to Golwa and Middleton beach for short while in the afternoon, just to find the Surf Rescue boat and a policeman on shore investigating a reported shark sighting, most swimmers where getting out of the water, but the surfers were having too much fun to let a shark bother them. picked up supplies from the supermarket (and bottle shop) then back to the park.
Us boys had a great game of cricket at the park whilst the girls watched – fun.
After a communal bbq we all sat about chatting into the evening.
