DAY 83 - PORT VICTORIA SA

PORT VICTORIA SA

DAY 83

EDITHBURGH – PORT VICTORIA

99.45 km

Total Time: 08.15 – 15.00 (6h 45m)

Time on Bike: 5h 17m 33s

Max. Speed: 38.1 km/h

Av. Speed: 18.8 km/h


My pedals keep turning and I satisfy expectations every day.

There is now only one more stop to complete a circuit of Yorke Peninsula and it has been done quickly.

From sunrise on the east coast this morning, I have crossed once again to the western, Spencer Gulf side of the peninsula for sunset this evening.

Port Victoria is one of the nicer places to be on this small strip of land.

There is history enough for those interested in all things maritime and the usual bounty of fishing to be had.

Personally, I just like turning up in a beautifully situated peaceful place to look out and just see the ocean and clouds and sky and sun.

Of course a few well-positioned Norfolk Island pines are always good Feng Shui.

My needs are quite simple really.

So long as there is a hot shower at the end of a good ride and a feed for the Kings at sundown, I will mostly sleep in peace.

Keeping each day on a tidy budget also helps the cause along.

The next few days however, are a mission of getting both drunk trailer wheels re-spoked.

I return to the “Copper Triangle” tomorrow – Moonta, Kadina and Wallaroo – these 3 towns are the main service centres for Yorke Peninsula, so my business should take place in one of these.
