Free camping or $10 a night community camps, Molly has to work till at lest 1:00pm so caravan parks are not much good for one night stays.

Certainly a long jetty out here. Cheers Robert

Point Lowly was a good spot to stop, clean amenities block with paid showers. No fresh water to take on board but free internet provided by Whyalla Council. At $10 night still grubs who will not pay.

Walked to the lighthouse and back and took a few photos along the way cheers Robert

Not often you see a lighthouse on sand like that.

Nice and quite but nothing there except some houses and the LPG export facility. Must be good fishing as they cart some big boats with their utes. No shops and about 31 km to Whyalla for shopping.

Quite good mate had been having the inverter on for @ lest 6 to 8 hours a day for molly to run her computer got down to 48% usage at 12.8 v but on the charger now. Happy with it will talk to my auto elec when we are back about improvements.

I think the generic Chinese fridge draws a fair bit could replace with a Dometic for better power consumption but price too high.

Been a good trip just watching the power during the day. Cheers Robert
