We were on our way to Tumby Bay and pulled in to Lipson Cove for a look and decided to stay for two nights, another very popular spot with the fishing mob. The park has two loos and about 14 sites at a cost of $10.00 a night. Today we walked down to the beach and spotted four dolphins frolicking in the water, what a buzz never seen them in the wild (John of course didn't have his camera). The people camping here seem to be all good people. We have met people from Western Austalia and Queensland and enjoyed a afternoon drink with them.
Tuesday we went exploring the beaches on the coast, the sand is as white as you can get, the fascinating part was the amazing patterns made by the black dust, a result of black basalt rocks breaking down. There is an island just off the coast and at low tide you can walk to the island with the water only calf deep. This island is also home to many species of birds and in the morning all the birds take off and head for the hills on the mainland and every afternoon at sunset they fly back.
We bid farewell to our neighbours and were off to Tumby Bay. We only stayed one night as it is a very small town and if you are not into fishing there isn't much else to do. The other main attraction at Tumby is another silo art project painted by Argentinian artist Martin Ron. He was inspired by a photo taken in 2014 by local Robert Lang of two local boys Eli Carmody and Morris Web jumping from the jetty, this is a popular past time for the towns people and visitors alike.
The silo art work was completed in 2018.
