Looking up the coast from Victor Harbor towards Encounter Bay.
Hello and happy July 4th to everyone back home in the USA! Enjoy the summer festivites as it is the dead of winter right now. It is not too cold however. Well whale watching season has finally begun so we decided to take a day trip down to the beachside town of Victor Harbor to see if we might be able to see them. Two humpback whales were spotted earlier in the morning but never resurfaced where they were visible. So alas, we never saw any. We had a great day however and walked around the town of Victor Harbor and out the causeway to Granite Island. Kim and I had been there in the summer, but it was nice to be there in winter, and this time we went down with Paul, Caroline, Larry, and Ginger. The beach down their is really spectacular and we caught some great clouds in the evening and a nice full moon out over the ocean which made for some nice photos.

The visitor center in town was the only place we were able to spot a whale!

We are leaving in a few days for holidays and heading out to Coober Pedy, The Outback Red Center, Alice Springs, and then flying on to Cairns. We are really looking forward to seeing Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the Great Barrier Reef. Much more to come very soon...
