TRAVELLING TO TAILEM BEND
It was time to move on to Tailem Bend, where we stayed at the Waterfront Holiday Park and met the new owners, Cathy and Evan. They took over the park about four years ago and have changed it completely. It’ s for adults only now, which means it’ s quiet and there are no small kids playing games. The most amazing thing about this area is the sunsets. According to Evan, they may have about 10 days a year when it’ s not a good one!
Another thing I really liked about this park was how we got in. We were sent the code for the entrance gate and the number of our site by phone. It didn’ t matter what time we got there – we could still get in even if it was late. The weather wasn’ t the nicest to us, so we decided to just take a few days off and relax. Also, there’ s a lovely little‘ island’ you can get to from the park if you want to relax by the water.
Our next stop was McLaren Vale, which we used as a base. A local town, Willunga, is a Saturday market town. We started at the one at the high school and, honestly, people were buying their week’ s fruit and veg there. It was amazing. I wished I hadn’ t gone shopping the day before!
