Day 24 - 8th March 2012

Day 24 Thursday 8^th March 2012

Today was another late start.  Oscar didn’t really want to get out of bed.  But in his defence he is having enormous problems with his ear.  I am hoping that he can survive until we get to Adelaide as it would be better in my opinion to get help in a bigger city.

Today we travelled to Kingston S.E. (S.E. I’m almost certain stands for South East, but that would imply that there is possibly another Kingston in the State or in Australia.  Note to self….. Google and find out). On the way through to Kingston just after Robe is a place called Cape Jaffa.  So you see it does exist.  That is where I originate from just in case you did not believe me, when I told you I was Jaffa.

We stopped off at Cape Jaffa for some photo ops and to check out the pricing on Cray’s.  We then travelled on to Kingston S.E.  Kingston S.E. has Larry the Giant lobster and the Cape Jaffa Lighthouse to boast about but not much else.  Cape Jaffa Lighthouse used to be located on a pier in the middle of the ocean.  It was relocated to dry land in 1975-76 but not in Cape Jaffa as one would expect but rather in Kingston S.E. Oscar is of the opinion that, most people in Kingston S.E. are not very happy people. Maybe it’s because they pinched somebody else’s lighthouse.

We left Kingston S.E. around 3:00pm and headed back towards Robe.  Robe - now there is a pretty town.  We took a walk to see the “Old Goal” which has only been restored to waist height and to the “Obelisk”. After our walk we dropped off in the local pub for a shandy and a beer.  Got home about 6 and went to the local pub for a pizza.  Back to camp and I am now going to do some work for Rocco.

Talk soon
