Day 75 Beachport

The man that can make the Men’s toilet smell less like a toilet will be a very rich man. Even with the sophisticated audience of Adelaide’s Vale Park, the toilet still smells like someone pee’d all over it.
And what’s the go with males wearing their jarmy’s to the communal bathroom? It’s bad enough that men are taking their jarmy’s on holiday with them but to be seen wearing your long PJ’s, or your nice silk dressing gown to the communal bathroom, when you’re still in you’re 20’s or 30’s is just un-necessary. What’s wrong with these people?
Thankfully, we escaped Adelaide just after 8am and by mid-day, we had arrived at Kingston, the home of the Giant Lobster. We got a lot of laughs when our good friends sent us a text photo of their kids at the Big Mango in Queensland, just as we drove past the Big Lobster in Kingston SA. Their message read, Leah & Hayden at the Big Mango. We immediately stopped the car, took a few quick pics on the phone/camera and Jacqui responded with, Zach, Tom & Jake at the Big Lobster. Sadly, other than the Big Lobster, Kingston has very little to offer which is probably very different to Airlie Beach and the Big Mango, so we headed further east. We arrived at Robe about an hour later and we cruised through town, only to be battered by the cold southerly winds. While Robe is a really pretty place, the bad news is that with all the seaweed in the bay, and the rancid salt lakes around the towns perimeter, the place stinks. Again, we decided to move further east and eventually we arrived at Beachport.
What a nice little town Beachport is. They found room for us in the caravan park and we had a little stroll around town. We would’ve enjoyed staying here for a few days but for one thing. It’s fffrrreeezzzing! We’re down to about 15 degrees and it’s expected to get down to 12 during the night. That’s about equal to the coldest day we had at Mona Vale all winter. We’ll probably sleep in tomorrow before making our way along the great ocean road and up towards Melbourne, and hopefully, to warmer weather.
Cheers,
