Yorke Peninsula trip

Post by morts »

We planned an extended October long weekend over at Black Point on Yorke Peninsula and about two weeks before we were due to go I had the :idea:
of taking the camper.... The family was :shock: but eventually came around
:) 8)

A busy two weeks fitting seat belts, sound deadening, (used rubber mats made for playground falls and they worked a treat!) fitting roof rack and a mechanical check over.

From our base at Black Point we travelled the coast roads to Port Julia, Shea Oak Flat, Port Vincent, Stansbury, Wool Bay, Cobowie and Edithburgh then home.

The bus went like a bought one - it sat comfortably between 90 - 100km/h on the main roads and was excellent to drive on the dirt roads

On the Sunday I was in Port Vincent and someone told me of a car show in Edithburgh so scooted down there, paid my dollar and parked on the oval...!

Not from the trip, but with the roof extended....

Cortina was a Type I, not sure if the colour was og but it was immaculate.
