What can I say about 2020? It has undoubtedly been a year of ups and downs for most people, I am sure. For us, 2020 has been 366 days of love, excitement and fun, as well as frustration, fear and bafflement. We have, surprisingly, still managed to do quite a lot of travelling during this time. – 7 flights took us 10,658km by air. We sailed two boats 6461 nautical miles and we enjoyed road trips and camping and travelled 4300km on land.
Camping on the Yorke Peninsula coast, South Australia. Popular fishing spot, camping behind the sand dunes, walk to the beach, small fee, pit toilet. Things to do nearby include visiting Balgowan and Moonta. We attempted to fish from a kayak for the first time… did we catch anything?
