Woke to a beautiful sunny day so we decided to follow the scenic Route 31 and visit the various beaches along the coast, close to where we are camping.

We drove up to the most northerly point of Route 31 and visited Christie beach. Like other sections of the coast it has limestone and clay cliffs, meaning a notably colour variation in the exposed rocks.

The beach was almost deserted and we were blessed with a white sandy beach and a warm ocean almost to ourselves. It was beautiful and meant we went into immediate relaxation mode and spent the next couple of hours dipping in and out of the water to keep cool.

We meandered down the coast line and on to the next beach at Port Noarlunga where it got a little busier and we were able to grab lunch at a cafe looking out across the beach.

Lunch was a proper indulgence with bacon and egg sandwich’s & chips, with a healthy smoothy to balance things out.

We idled the afternoon away with a couple of walks along the beach and a pier before returning to Moana beach and catching sunset.

Wow – the sunset was stunning and one of the best as it reflected against the ocean with nothing insight apart from the locals in their 4WD’s going up and down the beach also watching the sunset and enjoying bbqs and late evening swims.

Tomorrow we head up to the Adelaide hills and on to the Barossa Valley for some more wine tasting!!!
