Have now been away for exactly 3 calendar months or 93 days, has had it moments so far \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Went for a couple of days ride around Yorke Peninsular, culminating in a visit to Cape Spencer, the most southern point of the peninsular.<\/p>\n

I am absolutely amazed by the fact that the entire peninsular is covered in wheat fields for kilometre after kilometre after kilometre. Where does it all go?<\/p>\n

I have also been very taken with the friendliness of people around this area. They are very quick to give you a wave or a nod or say g’day. A nice and pleasant change.<\/p>\n

They even have nice names for their streets.<\/p>\n

\"sign1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They are shittin’ me right?<\/p>\n

I slowed to a crawl in case it actually WAS an ostrich masquerading as an emu, who would want to hit one of those? No wonder emus have an identity crisis.<\/p>\n

As far south as I could go, Cape Spencer lighthouse from where you can see Kangaroo Island.<\/p>\n

Spent the night at Warooka where they have ‘special’ shops<\/p>\n

and they even kill the meat before selling it to you.<\/p>\n

I have learned to control my urge to spread all my belongings around the room (mainly because I didn’t have most of it with me) :-]<\/p>\n

\"civilized1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They REALLY love their windmills in South Australia. The ‘Wattle Point Wind Farm’ was the largest in Australia when it was built.<\/p>\n

Thought that I would post this photo of me in case you have forgotten what a fine specimen of a man I am \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
