SA - Yorke Peninsula - Edithburgh

Edithburgh was my favourite town on the Yorke Peninsula. The town centre has many of the beautiful old buildings that this area is so well known for.
The jetty is another long one and was packed with fishermen. There are shelters with seats so you can get out of the adverse weather on those blistery days. Diving and snorkelling is very popular at this jetty and we were wanting to snorkel but it was windy and cold the two days that we were here.
There are several en suites in the park as well as a basic toilet block. The park is across from the boat launching ramp and the park has a boat washing and a fish cleaning area. Our site had "fake grass" which made it nice to walk on instead of the crushed rock and sparse bits of grass everywhere. Our site was opposite the ramp so we enjoyed watching the fishermen coming and going all day.

The fee was $25.00 per day.

SA - Yorke Peninsula -Marion Bay

We left Point Turton and drove to the southern point on the peninsula and stayed at the Marion Bay Caravan Park. There is no beach views but it is only about 50 metre walk to the beach. The park has good facilities and many shady sites. There is a play ground just outside the camp fence line for children.
We spent two nights here using it as a stepping stone to drive to Corny point and then south along the coast road and to Innes National Park. Some of the beaches along the coast are beautiful with the gorgeous turquoise blue water.
As it was harvest time, the farmers were busy in the fields and we enjoyed watching them trying to get the grains in before the impending rain storms.

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.
