Left Penneshaw at 10am and came through to American River for morning tea at the Deck Cafe on the wharf.
On the wharf shed they are building a replica of the US Schooner “Independence” which was the first vessel built in South Australia in 1803. It was used for sealing operations but was lost with all hands in 1805. A huge group of volunteers are building a replica and we paid for a plank so our names can be recorded as donors. Some of the men build wooden items from the offcuts of the oregon planks so Faye did have to have some to bring home…
From there went to Emu Ridge eucalyptus distillery and had lunch there.
Faye loved her cuddle with a baby kangaroo. Had a look at the history via video and did a brief tour.
The first photo is the eucalyptus bush they grow and cut for the process. And more purchases to bring home!
Then onto Murray Lagoon which is Cape Gantheaume Conservation Park. Once we set up in the camping area did a trip along the coast…
The large bird nest in top of the rock is an osprey nest. Says they have been nesting here for 150 years. You can just see a bird in the nest.
We are staying here for 3 nights and tomorrow we are booked into Seal Bay for a tour. The weather forecast is not good with rain for next 2/3 days.
Today Faye had lots of opportunities to get bird photos…
