Growing up in South Australia until I was 23 & living in three different towns within this wonderful state, we didn’t need to explore too much! We decided to head straight to Cactus Beach Campsite near Penong, famous for its shark attacks & great waves, not that people like advertising either of those points. The Eyre Peninsula is truly beautiful in its own rugged, wild way. I lived in Streaky Bay for 2 years & loved it, if you want to eat amazing fresh oysters, scallops & blue swimmer crabs, then you’ve come to the right place. Its nice to see that there’s a few more food options than when I lived here, although the pub still has a hearty counter meal & I thankfully caught up with some old friends, which was just lovely. From here it was almost Christmas & not being home for Christmas for years & years we decided to skip the rest of SA, only stopping in Adelaide extremely briefly & also one night in the Flinders Ranges & getting to Mt Gambier to see the family. Mount Gambier is a pretty town, with the Blue Lake, Valley Lakes & Sink Holes, surrounded by farmland, & timbers. There is a new controversial town hall with a green wall, which I think looks fantastic, the town is looking so much more funky & has some new great organic & food shops. Phoenix just loved the library, which was by far the best public library I’ve ever seen! We spent New Years in spectacular Robe of which I also lived for 2 years, it’s a beautiful town, with beautiful beaches, great food & wine. Traveling to SA really brought back memories of growing up & it was just wonderful seeing old friends & family again. xxx
