Port Lincoln 17/2 to 19/2

Feb 19th - David celebrated his birthday with a glass of bubbly in the sunshine. This was followed by a barbie and another glass of bubbly. It made a change celebrating his birthday in the sunshine without having to go to work on a cold February morning.



On route to Port Lincoln we travelled via the scenic Tumby Bay. It was very tempting to take a dip in the water as the temperatures peaked at 44 degrees (111 F) on our 3 hour journey.



Port Lincoln was named so by Matthew Flinders, the explorer after his home county. There are other references to Lincolnshire in the area such as Boston Bay and Louth Bay amongst others.



Here is Jayne at the base of our camp site overlooking Boston Bay. It was quite windy which helped to cool us down. Even the Pelicans were struggling to fly against the wind.



We didn't venture into the water as there were warning signs for Great White Sharks in the area. Yet another danger !



By the end of the bottle David was feeling more layed back and relaxed than normal and forgot about how old he had just turned.
