Road trip with dogs - day 13
We explored out to the coast on the Fleurieu penisular south of Adelaide. This is where the Adelaide Hills and the Mt Lofty Ranges meet the sea. The extension of the peninsular is Kangaroo Island, which can be reached by sea going ferry. Again there is a lot of wine being grown in this area, with sheep being the most dominant of other agricultural activities. I always expected the great Southern Ocean to roll in onto the coast with large angry breaking waves, but was quite disappointed to have it lapping at the shore quite gently. I guess it depends on the weather. At home on the Gold Coast you always get to see plenty of waves breaking. I guess that is why the Gold Coast is considered to have some of the most dangerous beaches in Australia!
