Pictures of the Southern Coast.

[Tyke]

Mrs Tyke and I had a wander down the Fleurieu Penninsular coast yesterday (30/12/10) in high 30c heat.
Photos start from Myponga which is south of Aldinga.
Have a look through all the posts as I can only put a few pics in each post.

We love this land............

Trying out Mrs Tyke's new camera .Sony Cyber Shot DSC - HX5V.
I like the panoramic facility - nothing touched up or altered,just as taken.
Also some ordinary format pics.

Myponga Dam,take time to stop here and look out from the viewing platform, looks nice and full for a change!

Rapid Bay.

A little township where time stood still.:o
The beach is wonderful to the left with a camp site on the beach front.

To the right is the Jetty -there is an old one as well that served the quarry to the rear.
The new one is excellent for fishing!

A view out over Rapid Bay.............. "O sunburnt land!"

We then went on a few dirt tracks, nearly all OK without 4 WD but do be careful of the loose and dusty surfaces.

The hills have turned to their summer colour now

Next lot.......

Starfish Hill Windfarm. We think they are beautiful.

Tall,majestic and saving the planet.

Cape Jervis, Gateway to Kangaroo Island and the ferry terminal.

Great views over to KI - it's far bigger than most realise - yes that land mass in the distance is KI!
Cape Jervis township is very quiet, has a few cafes,B&B's.
Charter fishing is popular from here - be aware this stretch of water can get very rough and has some of the strongest tides imaginable!

Park up and watch the ferry's load and unload, there is a cafe in the terminus,great place to sit and watch.
