2016 BRIDGEWATER WINDPOWER & DARTMOOR SCULPTURES
WINDPOWER UPGRADE After exploring Bridgewater and conquering the rather steep hill (well steep for a 10+tonne bus towing a car/trailer) and admiring the blowholes which none of my photos do justice to. We were more so in awe of the amazing wind farms, being so up close and personal to one of these giants was quite magnificent. They are controversial I know, but I find something soothingly pleasant about watching them rotate around and around.....so much more so than seeing a big coal fired electricity plant.
DARTMOOR DETOUR
We decided to make a brief detour from the coast and go a little inland near Coonawarra to visit some fellow travellers. "Dingo Man" and "Charm Brown" have been FB friends for a while and after learning they have blown a motor and are currently stuck seeking options, we called in to offer a little moral support, having just recovered from that experience ourselves.
On the way through we stayed at Dartmoor, a fantastic "donation" camp by the river on a huge grassy park. A lovely spot, and the very small town boasts the attraction of this beautiful carved art. I should be able to tell you all about the history and meaning, but I didn't read about it other than I know these are chainsaw carvings.
