Yorke Peninsula

We spent Christmas eve through to the New Year on the Yorke Peninsula. We planned to stay at Tigara Rocks Beach over this period as we thought it would be really busy and it was but not booked out every where. We found what we thought was a delightfully secluded spot with only 3 camp sites and we had the third. The site itself was nestled in between two little hillocks and so wasn't very level which we found out in no uncertain terms.
We were in the bed being vigorous when the trailer fell off its jack and rolled down the hill away. A little offputting to say the least.
It was a beautiful area so we went exploring and when we returned we had another camper parked 5 feet away from us. The cheek, and quite unnecessary. So we moved down the coast to Innes National Park. Found a great spot protected from the wind, right on the beach so it was a blessing in disguise.
The Innes National Park is amazing and we stayed 5 days using it as a base for the surrounding area. Every morning and evening we walked down the path to what we considered our private beach and had a cool refreshing swim, very refreshing. The beach faced west and so was protected from both the southerly sea breeze and the northerly wind. The water was crystal clear and even managed to entice Lesley out for a snorkel jorkel.So it must have been specky.
At the heel of the peninsula is a wind farm. 55 wind tubines each producing 1.5 MW . It saves 300,000 tonnes of CO2 each year and has a life span of  25 years. Believe me down, there there would hardly be one moment when they were out of wind. Interestingly I started to feel a bit nauseous which  was probably caused by the low frequency rumble they produce. So they need to be situated a bit away from civilisation.
