SA - Yorke Peninsula- Point Turton

Point Turton is towards the southern end of the Yorke Peninsula on the west coast. This is another lovely little beach side town with a jetty and excellent sheltered boat launching ramp.
The caravan park is located in the old quarry and it was the first time in months that we have had a grassed site. The grass felt so spongy under foot. It is amazing how you forget something that we always just take for granted.
Most people that were staying at the park were here for the fishing, so Mike got right into the swing of things. They were fishing for garfish. Mike didn’t have the necessary equipment but it didn’t long at the camp site office for him to purchase what was needed and he was ready to go.
About his second cast he had caught one but that was the extent of the excitement. One certainly won’t make a meal so he made a fellow fisher person very happy by donating his catch to their dinner plate.

The amenities were old but beautifully maintained with hanging plants that made you feel at home. One of the staff showed us his herb garden and invited us to come and help ourselves whenever we wished.

Lovely friendly park.
