Day 16 - Barossa Valley to Kingston (S.E.)
Today was mostly a travel day, so we were not too unhappy about our first day without real sunshine. South out of Barossa, straight towards the Princes Highway and into Coorong National park. Expected to see a lot of sea birds and the famous pelicans, however we are out of breeding season and so we might go down in history as the first tourists that drove down the Coorong in its entirely and did not see a single pelican.
Took a nice walk to the sea through dunes and scrub-covered hills.
On to Kingston (South East). This place definitely is not the end of the world, but you have a great view on it from here. Glad to find some motel restaurant for dinner, aside from that, this down is deserted after 9 pm.
Ah, and it is home to ‘Larry the giant lobster’, an about 10m plaster and fibreglass statue of a lobster. Might scare some kids.
