Yorke Peninsula

From the vines of the Barossa, the next stop on this trip around Australia couldn't have been more different. The Yorke Peninsula looks like a hot, dry piece of earth from the highway, but once you hit the coastline, it's pretty special.

We met some fellow kombi travellers at Moonta Bay, who say that the area is one of the most beautiful places they've had the pleasure of camping at. There's not alot in the town itself (or for a radius of about 200km) but the caravan park backs up to the ocean and the sunset is truly magic.

The view from our camping spot by day (the town is known for its great fishing off its wooden jetty - you can throw in a net and you're sure to catch at least 10 blue swimmer crabs in about an hour.)

The view from our camp spot on dusk.

Enjoying the sunset with our new kombi mates. (We took turns touring each other's vans. Lame? Maybe just a tad!)

Yours in the great outdoors,

Odette
