Today has been a perfect
day for being indoors. The temperature briefly climbed to 17 degrees,
we have had intermittent rain squalls and even some small hail and
the wind is gusting to 30 knots. I have reversed my usual photo habit
in that the photo above is the view from inside our warm dry van.
We have spent the day
travelling about 150 kms to be at the Port Vincent Caravan Park on the east side of
the peninsula. The only consolation about the wind is that it is
coming from the west so the foreshore, along which we went for a long
walk this afternoon between showers, is relatively calm.
What the weather is good
for is wind farms which are quite prolific in this area, the
“windiest area in Australia”. 20% of South Australia's
electricity is generated by wind turbines.
Tomorrow looks like being
another ordinary day so we might need to resort to plan B – some
wineries perhaps. It's good weather for them. Fortunately we were
able to get some fish and prawns for tea so our white wine will be
well supplemented.
