Sorry, this is the first post for some time.

A Universal conspiracy has been in place against any Internet connection for about a week – long days on the road, one-horse towns, strange opening hours, obscure computer software – I’ve had it all.

Anyway, the road goes on and I have reached the deathly quiet but oddly appealing fishing village of Port Neill.

It comes across as not much more than a shanty town, with the familiar attractions of a local pub, general store, Caravan Park and possibly the longest jetty on the Eyre Peninsula.

I negotiated a fairly forgettable 40 kilometre section of the Lincoln Highway this morning.
Probably 30 of these were a slow uphill slog and probably 20 of these again were into a headwind.

Quite perplexing for a stretch of road that is never more than 6 km from the coast…..

I push on to Tumby Bay tomorrow morning and am still yet to hook up an ocean feed.

Nothing whatsoever again this afternoon, although it is on good recommendation that a after-hours night session could reap a veritable harvest.

Problem being, that unless for immediate consumption, it is not likely to travel well.

I’ll just have to keep working my luck in the daylight hours and all results will be posted in good time.
