Stansbury to Stansbury

I got up before dawn, since I was on the edge of a parking area, which I found out was called Pitts landing. I skipped breakfast and headed south to a beach that was about 2km away. I thought I would stop for breakfast there.  It was a bit choppy on the water, but I got to the beach. It was a slightly difficult landing as there was a big bank of seaweed on the beach, and it was a struggle to land because I hit the seaweed bank and started and taking on water.

It was a beach with an area behind it that I could camp on. So I decided today would be a rest day. I set up camp, has breakfast, and then climbed the almost cliff along a track that had obviously been used before. I got to the top, walked around 200m to find I was inside ABC mine and port area, with a prominent sign saying no camping. I thought it’s too late, I have put up the tent. I was very invisible down behind the beach.  I then walked the 5km into town along the Walk the Yorke track, the first part on the road, and then along the cliff track. I wandered around town, going to the IGA, and then getting lunch at the pub, where I also charged my camping battery pack. Mid afternoon I walked back to camp, and lounged around the rest of the day.

View south along the beach. Lots of seaweed
The other side of the Gulf. It always surprises me how easy it is to see across, because it’s so much higher than this side.
