The First stop on the Yorke Peninsula was a little town called Ardrossen. It is here that many a Blue Manna crab is caught. Sadly for us it was blowing a gale and it did not inspire us to have a go ourselves. It was a quaint little town to visit and bread up the trip to Edithburgh. At Edithburgh we stayed with friends on their farm and the kids loved the space and freedome. Emmalisa was impressed with the farm dog but Haydan was impressed with all the machines, tractors and a ride on lawn mower but what really took the cake was the plane. Rob has his own little plane and an airstrip on the farm so Haydan was itching to go for a fly, and fly he did. He was so excited about the flight and when he was in the air he sat in the plane going "Oh Wow!, Oh Wow!" When they landed he told us all about how he looked at a cloud up close and how the bumps made his tummy tickel. He also said everything looks small from the plane. He was keen for another flight but we managed to keep him grounded for the rest of our stay. Glen also went up in the plane and got a birdseye view of the coast, farming land and all the saltpans that are at the bottom of the Yorke Peninsula. There were a few good beaches around Edithburgh so the kids enjoyed some great afternoons at the beach as well. It was a very enjoyable stay and one Haydan will be talking about for some time yet.
It is from here that we turn the car around and start heading in land back to Townsville.
