After a brief tour of the much anticipated Tumby Bay, SA and discovering there was nowhere nice for us to stay, we continue on to a picturesque donation camp called Lipson Cove.  Arriving late, parked just behind the sand dunes with water views and semi sheltered from the winds, we settled in for the night.

A bit of early evening fishing on the beach, stroll along the waters edge finished with a little bit of a rock climb, we had a great night. These pockets of black sand were intriguing, no idea the cause. 

Waking in the morning, we realise we are running out of coast and still have a few weeks to go before our commitments back in Alice Springs commence.  So in one of those moment decisions we planned to do a quick surprise visit back to Melbourne as it will be quite some time before we see these family and friends again (unless they visit us up north that is).  So we packed up and fled, leaving on the 14th Feb and arriving on the 15th......SUPRISE!
