Normanville

We left Goolwa this morning and headed along the Fleurieu Highway to Normanville. On the way we went down to Cape Jervis, which is where you catch the ferry over to Kangaroo Island. The landscape changed dramatically along the way. Most of the way from Goolwa was green dairy country until we got down to Cape Jervis, where it was very dry, brown and barren. The views over to the island were lovely. As we drove north again it wasn't long before the countryside was green again. The caravan park at Normanville was really nice. It was right near a lovely beach with a jetty. Dave had a bit of a fish there, but there were no bites.

At Normanville there was a very quirky artist, whose studio was called Seagull Droppings. He made furniture out of driftwood and old timber he got from an old boatshed. He also did paintings, mainly of the beach and the local scenery. We first saw a sample of his work in a pub at cape Jervis, where he has made the fabulous carvings of fish and whales.

As we were on the western side of the Fleurieu Peninsula, the sun set over the ocean. The first night we were there we sat by the beach taking lots of photos as the sun slowly went down. It was beautiful.
