Our final night on Yorke Peninsula was spent at a caravan park in Port Germein on Spencer Gulf. This view is from the gate of the caravan park. This recently restored lighthouse was erected in 1894 at the end of the longest wooden jetty in Australia. A vehicle races over the sand flats as the tide turns and the ocean waters begin to rise,
The wooden jetty, constructed in 1881 and extended two years later, appears to have a 'vanishing point' as it stretches 1.6 kilometres to intersect with the Spencer Gulf waters at low tide. Extensively damaged in a storm surge in 2017 but was restored in the same year!
The return walk...
We woke to find the sand flats covered by a high tide on our final morning on the Spencer Gulf.
