We then drove towards the coast, planning on getting to Robe for the night. Unfortunately we left it a bit late so stopped at a camp spot on Wright's Beach about 15km north of Robe for the night. Didn't see much point in paying $50 for a night at a caravan park so instead payed the grand total of $6.
Drove into Robe the next morning and checked into the caravan park. Much to the boy's excitement there was a jumping pillow and an indoor heated pool. Robe is a great spot. The beaches are much nicer than those we saw on the Eyre Peninsula. It has some good cafes and interesting shops. I had a photo here of Long Beach which you can drive on. So of course we did since it was the last opportunity to do so!
We didn't end up doing a great deal else, just enjoying our last few days before we get home. We drove out to the Obelisk which they used to shoot rockets from with rope attached to rescue people from the sea.
The boys tried fishing at the jetty and caught a few fish but nothing big enough to keep. They had a kick at the footy oval and a couple of visits to the skate park which was empty again with everyone back at school. The caravan parks are very quiet again too. The grey nomads must love it but the boys find it a bit hard being on their own again. We will head off to Mt Gambier, then to Portland to stay with some friends, then on to Stawell to see my mum and Banjo!
