THURSDAY 30/05/13 - Robe to Victor Harbour

Packed up early and left our B&B overlooking Lake Fellmongery - a freshwater lake that was named after the industrial use of the freshwater to wash wool bales retrieved from a shipwreck in the Bay in the 1800s.

Got to approximately 17 klm on the way to Kingston SE when Dot realised we had not collected a couple of containers of cheese and meats/bacon from the fridge.   U turn and arrived back at B&B as owner arrived to finalise our visit.

The trip to Kingston SE was very overcast with showers at regular intervals.  Took the obligatory photo of

Larry the Lobster....apparently 3 times the original projected size ....the builder misread  "feet for metres".

We continued on through the Coorong and onto Lake Albert's Meningie & towards Tailem Bend, before turning off to the Fleurieu Peninsular route through a range of wineries.  Stopped at a recommended winery that has diversified into a range of condiments especially horseradish processed products.  The old sandstone buildings looked great in the countryside

The skies had now cleared and the temperature rising, especially in the car as we headed through a number of small villages onm the way to Goolwa.  Goolwa with its old buildings immaculately cared for was impressive and worth a couple of days stay.  Onto Victor Harbour to find accommodation.

Nearly opposite our motel is a series of walks around the coast and the Hindmarsh River.  We took the Lagoon boardwalk which is a loop around a lagoon complex, adjacent to the river attempting to flow over a
sandbar into the sea.

Tomorrow morning to look around Victor Harbour and then catch up with old friends in Adelaide.

For those interested we have been informed our son Paul will  feature on the ABC2 Landline program on Sunday [02/06/13] 12 o'clock midday [ repeated on Monday 03/06/13 evening at 11pm] in a segment relating to a new product from Phosphagenics
