Tuesday
24th July
Today
was bike riding day. We headed to the
marina to explore the boats at a closer proximity and while there noticed a
tuna boat pull into dock and unload.
One
of the workers told us that in each large box there were 20 tuna ready for
processing and then off to Japan.
We
returned to the café on the marina where we had enjoyed our fish and chips last
Sunday, so today sampled a delicious Florentine – apparently made locally by a
lady who certainly knows how to pack a biscuit with lovely textures and
flavours. It coupled so well with the coffee
too.
Our
final destination for the day was Mill Cottage, now a museum (only opened on
specific days – today not being one of them.
It was nice to just wander around the grounds and enjoy the gardens.
This cottage was built by Captain John Bishop in 1866. He was one of the earliest settlers in Port
Lincoln, had extensive land holdings and raised six children in this cottage.
