Port Lincoln - The Seafood Frontier of Australia

 Only 48km on from Coffin Bay, travelling across to the South-Eastern side of the peninsula, we arrived in Port Lincoln – known as the seafood frontier of Australia. We drove past the port, admiring the many fishing boats and checked into Port Lincoln Caravan Park. We had booked a premium site with great views of the water for our three-day stay. As it was another beautiful day, off came the bikes and we rode the 3.5km along the Parnkalla Trail, into the town centre and along the foreshore. This lovely ride, along the water, took us past the Brennan Jetty and the town’s impressive towering grain silos. On the foreshore we rode past the Makybe Diva bronze statue (Australia’s most successful racehorse) and the Tuna Poler statue. Port Lincoln looked a lovely town, with several foreshore cafes and some boutique shopping.

Day two we headed for a drive into the Lincoln National Park, stopping at Surfleet Point to walk along the beach and then climb the hill to view the Matthew Flinders Monument. The steep climb was worth it, which rewarded us with great views across the bays and back towards Port Lincoln.

Day three we dropped the car off at Peter Kittle Toyota for another 10,000km service and spent the morning strolling around town, having breakfast at a French café and having fun finding some lovely unique fashion finds in the towns many boutiques. Two dress purchases later, Andrew was glad when they called to say the car was ready. That afternoon we rode our bikes the other direction along the Parnkalla Trail towards the port, getting a close-up view of the many vessels that were moored after the mornings fishing.
