Cummins

There is a Community run campsite in Cummins which was very good and we used it as a base to see Port Lincoln and Coffin Bay. 

Cummins itself is a centre for cereal transportation. It was the wrong time of year for us to witness in full operation but I can imagine it getting very busy with lots of lorries coming and going. There is a mill in the town and a bakery. Unfortunately, in SA most places close at the weekends! I know, that seems very odd in this day and age. As we were there for just over a weekend we couldn't sample it as much as we would have liked!

We went for day trips first to Port Lincoln and then Coffin Bay. Port Lincoln was a great day out and we visited an amazing Fish shop and or course we had to try their fish and chips, they were up there! 

Furniture project for Simon!

A rather unfortunate name for a restaurant!

Many people we met, told us we had to go to Coffin Bay for Oysters. So, naturally we were quite excited about going. However, when we got there, there was little to see or do and there was not really a great place to get your Oysters. We ended up at the local hotel and I, Philippa, apparently had too much to drink. But the fact I had to go straight to bed and took 24 hours to recover, I blame it more on a dodgy Oyster! All that said, they do have a great walk you can go on along the water, there are lots of information boards so you know what birds and plants you are looking at. This is just as well as half the time we have no idea, but we are learning!

Finally, as we were packing up, we found this huge moth. Unknown to us at the time we would encounter quite a few more. You will have to look out for that post.
