Portland
After leaving Port Mcdonnell and heading across the border into Victoria we decided to stay a couple nights in Portland and try do some hunting. We jack knifed the trailer one night and bent the draw bar on it pretty bad which we didn't even realise till late the next day. Didn't end up seeing to much in portland on our hunts and one night it poured down which made us have to move camp. Also had to use the winch for the first time as i drove onto a dry swamp which wasn't such a good idea
Penola
While in Port Mcdonnell we headed out to Penola for a couple of days to do some hunting mainly searching for deer. We seen a few but couldn't get close enough to them. Also seen a few other critters but didn't really have to much luck.
Port Mcdonnell
We arrived at Shaun's joint in Port Mcdonnell after seeing the sights of Mt Gambier, pretty much Dan Murphy's and Woolworths. Shaun has an old crayfish set up house which we stayed at with pool, darts and table tennis. Was good as the shed was massive so that is were we would usually just hang out most the time having beers. Got a surf in which was good fun even though it was freezing cold lucky for the 4/3 and hood. There are some pretty cool springs and crystal clear lakes around Port Mac which are a bit of a spin out. Went out one Saturday night in Mt Gambier which was pretty funny and also to Shaun's mum's 50th. Also to the footy club one night were Ben decided to verse this guy in a game of slaps. The guy reckons he hasn't been beaten since year 9 and this was the outcome of Ben's hand after the game was stopped after like an hour. Was a good stay in Port Mcdonnell. Thanks Shaun, Sharon and Steve for letting us stay at your joint. Thanks also to Shaun's parents for inviting us round for dinners and cooking us cakes. Off to Victoria now
Salt Creek
After Adelaide we decided we needed a bit of a break and decided to pull into Salt Creek as we were over driving. We ended up staying a couple of nights of which all of them were pretty much freezing. We mainly just set about going out and looking for critters to hunt which there were plenty of. Didn't really end up with much but still was good fun. Heading to Port Mcdonnell next which is pretty close to the Victorian border.
Adelaide
So we arrived in Adelaide Thursday night and checked into west beach caravan park. We ended up staying for 5 nights of which all we went out and got pretty loose. We skated some real good parks near the caravan park when we could which was good fun. Also went and stocked up on some more bowhunting stuff and Ben got a new bow. On the last day as we headed out we went into the city for a little bit of a look around but as most cities are it was so busy and hectic so we didn't last to long.
