February 2006

 Coffin Bay National Park

Well our time at Cowell came to an end on the 19th February and we headed south down past Port Lincoln to Coffin Bay where we stayed at a freebie until the 1st March about 20 meters from the waters edge. Our stay was actually at Kaliepie Bay which is next to Coffin Bay at our friends Norm and Kim's relatives beach shack. It was great to catch up with Norm and Kim and hear about their travels since we last saw them. We met Norm and Kim at Kurumba Point in 2004. Whilst at Coffin Bay we had the opportunity to go out on one of the professional oyster boats. When we returned to the sheds we helped them sort their catch which was something different to learn. We travelled into Point Lincoln a few times
which is the wealthiest town per population in Australia. It seams hard to
believe that the tuna fisherman can actually get $5000 per tuna in Japan. Helen
and I also traveled to Port Lincoln to see the Tunarama Festival, and another day to
watch the finish of a yacht race from Adelaide to Port Lincoln. |
