Hi Forumites,
The original plans my wife and I had have now been quashed after good advice from this
forum. So now we're looking to spend some time around the South Australian area, maybe a week or two around the Xmas, New Year time.
We are 50+, we're not not looking for something that could turn into a rescue mission worthy of radio or TV coverage, maybe a few wineries, some historic stuff. Just want to relax and have a holiday. Have a fairly
well equipped D3 with a Tvan in tow. We're after a fairly central place on or near the cost with things to do within a days comfortable drive. Obviously we can move about but we want to spend some time reading visiting and not just driving all day every day. I was looking at the
Fleurieu Peninsula, any constructive comments would be welcomed.
Thanks in anticipation.

G'day Martyn, Depends on wether you like crowds or not but parts of the
Fleurieu can get rather busy at that time of year.
Deep Creek Conservation park is on the coast which will be a blessing at that time of the year.The Coorong and Lower SE are worth looking into as
well.
Yorke Peninsular is good as
well but also busy. Good for fishing as
well.
Adelaide Hills is cooler than the plains and a few Wineries to boot.
Have a great visit.

Hi Martyn,
We always stay at this one,
Aldinga Beach
Nice, quiet park, close to some great fishing spots, just drive onto
the beach at Sellicks/Silver Sands, close to
Adelaide, heaps of great wineries, good shopping centres, I reckon it would suit you to a 'T'.
Cheers,
Dennis

Fourmites,
Love
Wallaroo at the top of
Yorke Peninsula, Nth Bch Caravan park is fantastic you might be in trouble at this time of year however,
Moonta,
Moonta Bay and Pt Hughes are all as good as
well. From there you can travel the peninsula, come back to
Clare Valley for the Wineries or at a push drop into the southern Flinders.
Cheers
Jim
