The week so far...
Adelaide - Melrose - Flinders Ranges (Wilpena Pound) - Whyalla - Port Lincoln - Whalers Way
The stats:
Number of flat tyres: 1
Number of times we've worn a tea towel on our heads: 3
Number of sharks seen this week: 5!!!
Number times Kelly spewed: 3
Number of times Matt spewed: 0!
I know we've kept stringing you along with our promises of great white sharks, but this week I swear we will not disappoint. Yee haa! I know.
After two weeks of luxurious hot showers and beer in Adelaide, it was time to hit the road once again. We headed north for the magnificent Flinders Ranges and I can't recommend it enough (despite the wretched flies that necessitate the sexy headwear). You'll no doubt notice that I only included a picture of Matt with a tea towel on his head for the purposes of this blog. He complained of course. There are plenty of rippers of me too but hey, artistic license and all that. After two nights of trespassing near Arkaba Station and the Hysen Ranges and a flat tyre later, we headed down to Port Lincoln for the adventure of a lifetime.

We spent two days and a night in the spectacular Port Lincoln National Park where we went on a 4WD trip along the Sleaford Dunes at sunset. What a sight. Absolutely stunning and well worth the trip for anyone near enough to make the journey. We then decided to blow the budget and set out to dive with great whites off the Neptune Islands. This is something we have both wanted to do for such a long time and it was truly fantastic. These creatures really are something else, and HUGE! There were about five sharks hanging around the boat and we were so pumped about getting the chance to get in there with them... from the safety of a large, reinforced cage. Naturally. We were actually in the last group so we had to wait about 4 hours for our turn to go in and whilst we were worried they would have all gone on their merry way, we needn't' have worried. There was a bunch of kids on the trip who managed to force their way into the first group and to honest, I had to hold Burnsey back so he didn't snot the obnoxious little brats. Jokes! Well, kind of...

I must take my hat off to Burnsey who managed to hold his stomach in spite of the rough seas. The sailing boys would have been proud. I wish I could say the same for me.
I'll let the video do the rest and see you all next week!
Thanks again to all of our friends and family and Adelaide for your hospitality, it was so nice to catch up.
Burnsey and Kelly xx
