Week 11: The great white returns

We have been enjoying some well earned rest and civilisation in and around SA this past week.  It has been great showering every day, sometime twice!  Regular trips to the pool for some (weightless) exercise has been essential to offset the much quieter lifestyle we have taken up this week.

A notable highlight for me was a short trip to Goose Island.  For those of you who are not familiar with Goose (as it's known), this is a truly magnificent gem located on the western side of the York Peninsula.  Scotch College (my old school and workplace) has been running camps and looking after this tiny spec in Spencer Gulf which also serves as a National Park and marine reserve.

At first glance, Goose is not much to look at but it holds a special place in my heart as I am sure it does for many of those who have been lucky enough to visit its shores.  Located approximately 8 miles offshore from Port Victoria and adjacent to the the larger island of Wardang, Goose offers a myriad of marine life with fantastic scenery.

Next week we are heading north, hopefully making it up to Arkaroola and the Northern Flinders Ranges.  Will keep you posted.
