This morning we awoke to a sunny yet chilly day. We packed up camp and set off for Victor Harbor. We travelled through Adelaide's suburbs, it's quite a big place really, then past McLaren Vale and on to Victor Harbor. As I was checking in to the caravan park I noticed brochures advertising whale watching tours. I hadn't realised whales came this far around the coast, however the park manager told me they hadn't seen any whales yet this season. Hopes dashed, we went and set up camp before heading in to town. We went to the whale centre, and were told two whales had been seen off the coast, so we were off in search of them. We firstly found a seal, basking around in the shallows just off the coast around the Bluff.
We then travelled around to Petrel Cove, and there they were. Two whales frolicking around just off the coast. It was amazing!! We stayed and watched them for ages.
A few thousand photos and about an hour of video footage later, the family finally dragged me away, and we went back into town. There was a small carnival for the school holidays, and we also saw the Steam Ranger Cockle Train. We then grabbed some hot cinnamon donuts and walked over to Granite Island. We missed the horse drawn tram with Jay Jay the Clydesdale.
The island was nice, with lovely views of the town.
Now after seeing whales we are totally happy for the holiday to end, and went back to the park for dinner and to plan our return home.
