After the cold wind at Lipsom Cove we thought that a few days in a caravan park in Port Lincoln were in order so that we could address an electrics problem we had developed and catch up on a few other things, however when we got to Louth Bay and discovered how sheltered it was we just had to stay a while.
On our way there we went to Tumby Bay and I visited their lovely patchwork and wool shop. As we have been travelling on the Pen. we have noticed all the lovely roses that are out and don't seem to mind the salt air which is a real surprise. They really are a picture!!
When we arrived at Louth Bay 2 other rigs were in the process of setting up; a large bus and a big 5th wheeler. We went into town after setting up as I needed to stock up with groceries and on our return found 2 camper trailers were set up next to us and they were expecting more people later on. When they pulled out after the weekend a small 5th wheeler slotted into their place and we ended up with a lovely group of friends.

Louth Bay camp ground Part of our group was several dogs and "Ally" in particular was rather cute although often naughty. She reminded me of "Hairy Mc Larey" a dog in a series of children's books.
"Ally" One of the main activities each day was to go down to the jetty and fish for squid. Everyone else had success except me. I got a couple of hookups but didn't land anything.

We also were entertained by Lorraine one night when she brought out her piano accordion and we had a singalong with our sun downers. All in all we really enjoyed our time at Louth Bay to the extent that no one wanted to leave , so we all decided to leave on the same day.
Great Post...Tumby Bay has a marvellous undiscovered atmosphere, but at the same time is within easy reach. From Adelaide, Tumby Bay is a 600km drive, or a 45 minute flight to Port Lincoln and then just 20 minutes by road.
