View across Parsons Bay at low tide
Hello listeners,
Those of you sitting home in Adelaide might be interested to know it was cloudy and cool here today with light late rain during the evening and a temperature of around 18! i.e. about 24 degrees cooler than what you had today.
As noted previously today was a day off for us. We dusted off the bikes and had a ride into town, The land here is quite hilly so we were puffing and feeling the strain in our legs. We returned our bikes and travelled back into town on foot to have some lunch. We also ventured onto the tidal flats and were amazed at the army of small crabs on the surface. When you approach they bury themselves in the mud. We will post some pictures or video when we get the chance. I look at them and I see bait!
After lunch we had a discussion with our host about the jobs we could be matched to in our time here and a further tour of the site. Tonight was a shared tea so Susan took the opportunity to cook sticky date pudding while I attended to our washing. It was a good evening albeit a latish finish. We got to meet the other HelpXers. There are around 9 here at the moment including us.
I am told there are oysters, mussels, abalone and squid available to catch locally. Looks like we also have the use of a dinghy with motor too so hopefully some seafood coming our way.
Tomorrow fingers crossed for some sun!
cheers Simon
