How'dy, I did warn you in the Blog heading -
'THE SHED' would feature!
With packing sheets provided by Johno's Furniture, it was time to get vthings under way. Perfect fit.
Double corner - nobody had picked up the ball was, during a two hour period, it's now being donated to a good cause.
Early day 2 - admiring the my handy work.
Now to get some cheap paint
How frustrating to be stuck behind this fence and not see the daily action. His / her persistence paid off.
Creative pruning!
Now it's starting to look like a SHED!
Family farm recliner - now done a full circle.
Sue's knitting bed socks
Wired and connected!
Alas there will not be much fruit, as a hot
northerly wrecked the blossom
Enough of The SHED - time to get out and about - fishing, walking, biking you get the drift.
Morning walk the the Aussie Net!
Rock walk, Mulligull or Pacific Gull eggs
In for some cool and windy weather
Some one's ready along with the bed socks soon to be in use
1029hrs - wind gust 49kph, and wind chill 5.8 - it's COLD!
Don't leave home without your FLY NET!!
Mark our neighbour - tried out his soft plastics on the FLAT'S. He was as surprised as we were - 53cm Flathead.
Another magic day - calm before the storm
Gotcha - sniffing around my prawn fly, all 2" of him
We have fresh fish for tea
More inclement weather
No fishing, got down to figure out how to
eye splice, easy when you know how!!
It's building
Forecast 40kph winds no big deal. However a
low pressure had developed overnight south of us, severe weather warning for
destructive winds. As the morning wore on it become evident we were in for a
blow. 104kph wind gust Max. With steady at
90++, well into the night. The weather station shows the maximums up until 22/10/13. Hot northerly that destroyed the peach tree blossom 38.3 degrees.
Annexe peg down tab repairs
If they pull out again after this repair we have got a problem. The original thread has deteriorated over time
New signage installed - more visitor's!
Sand anchor and 10mm rope held in the
recent blow over two days.
Pacific Gulls get's a snack
Our camp from the rocks
Magic SKY!

September Beach shelter
Where's the Mulli Gull eggs, so well camouflaged,
they nearly got squashed
Eh! squid please not a Tommy! Yep! he swallowed the squid jig!
Someone took some time to lay this lot out in the scrub. Appears to be a Shrine of some sort and been there a few years.
After the recent blow's it's worth the effort and repairs.
480mm good size KGW
Even better catch - fresh fish for tea 'AGAIN'
Low tide - 0.1mtr
Okay some roast pork for a change
with teeth breaking crackle
Beach and rock combing for rope to practice my splicing.
Okay - 25mtrs of 250mm poly rope,
to heavy to carry back to camp
Yep! it's sure low tide
What you reckon I was going to leave that rope there!
Safely loaded and heading for the 'Shed'
Got the hang of the Back Splice now!
What some folks will leave behind. The chair only needs a replacement bolt, as the riveted bolt has pulled out, possible to the heavy load it experienced.

with aerial port for remote locations
Wash day, with or without the flies
Ah! more rope to practice splicing, plus

Good water point on the walking trail, just up a from McLaren Point parking area
Over Grown and fallen trees
Well marked still
Another 45 minutes to Spalding Cove sign,
crossing the power line track at # 52, another 25 minutes back to camp – a
great ride thru the burnt timber / scrub
fire of 5 years ago, with 6 trees down across the track – hence no maintenance
it seems. 2 hour ride and 30 minutes on
the beach.
This guy missed the corner and slammed into the tree, we heard a vehicle revving and at speed a day earlier - this is the result it seems.

Wow! Port Lincolns new air port terminal - no longer a country town with a tin shed terminal.

Graham and Sue
