Coonalpyn was only minutes up the road and we took the time to do a geocache nearby and a toilet break.
We made a call to a few parks and booked into one in Semaphore park right on the beach for 3 nights so we could get some work done on the car before we took off up the Oodnadatta track.
This organised we headed into the Port Adelaide area to check out the markets and be tourists ,\one we were hungry for lunch and i thought some cheap books may be in order for all of us.
The kids and I climbed the old lighthouse with great view views all around and some interestng history
why not check it out .

The Adelaide region is rich in Bavarian culture so we partook in a Bratwurst fest and my first ill fated bite burst the skin open and squirted a nearby germanite narrowly missing his face oops lol.
A few toy trucks for dash and sme books for EJ we were marketed out and walked back to the car via the old wharf and admiring the Old Port Adelaide architecture and its worldly charm.
We hightailed it to the caravan park and set ourselves up comfortably for the next few days , whilst it was a Discovery park its still only basic as its undergong some fairly big works and a shared ensuite toileet was a fair walk away but its only $30 a night for all of us as its an off peak special so it gives a us good base to explore some more and wait for the car repairs and get some needed goodies for our remote ventres ahead.
Once we were set up we explored the nearby beach and then a few frothies at the local surf life saving
club and listened to a awesome two peice drum and guitar group TRAV & DAVE.
Then kids choice was Barnacle Bills for tea , which the parents didn't much care for but kids enjoyed Then a cuppa and a sundae for dessert at maccas before we hit the sack feeling very tired but totally loving Adelaide and its beauty of course the weather was a bonus.
