Robe 13-22°C
Mostly sunny
Now we’re off and racing from Adelaide to Robe, a historic port which is now a popular holiday destination located 338 km south east of Adelaide on Guichen Bay. Today’s focus while on our 250km trek to rest is Coorong and the area of the lower Murray wetlands and how acidification of the wetlands is seriously threatening the ecology of the area.
We’ll be finishing up this leg at Robe’s War Memorial then meeting South Australian Water Commisioner Robyn Macleod as well as ‘Stormboy’ Greg Rowe. Ahh the memories of that film (and book). Too bad we don’t get to meet Mr Percival (that’s the pelican for those unlucky enough not to have seen the film as a little one). Tonight we can rest up a bit so perhaps we’ll be checking out Robe’s awesome Long Beach, a 17km strip of sandy bliss where we can soak our exhausted feet and come down off the adrenalin high we’ve been running on (s’cuse the pun) for the past 22 days!
PS. - And a big THANK YOU to Shane Noll for swinging by … er … well, almost! Go Roger!
