My partner and I like to camp but with our busy schedules we seem to have less and less time to do so. Consequently, we decided to make the effort and head off for a few days to the Yorke Peninsula. And where is the Yorke Pensinsula for those of you not from Adelaide or South Australia? If you've not visited or even heard of this area, I strongly recommend you make time to visit if you're in Adelaide, its only a two to three hour drive depending upon where you live and if you're visiting Adelaide in the near future, it is well worth the visit. For more information, please check out http://www.southaustralia.com/regions/yorke-peninsula.aspx . This is a great website which can help you plan your visit to the area.
We ended up camping in the Port Rickaby Caravan Park - www.portrickaby.com . The owners were very welcoming and even though we were a pretty late booking we ended up with a pretty good site
The ocean is barely a three minute walk from our campsite.
Okay now the first quilting store I visited while we were away was Wurrtoo Quilts in Minlaton. This wasn't a big store by any means but had all the basics you would need for quilting. The fabric selection was fairly average except for two exceptions. The first was they had a very large range of batiks. I'm not big on batiks myself but suspect if you were, you'd find a good range here. Secondly, I found a lonesome piece of New Zealand fabric, Ponga Koru:

It's become a bit of a game for me to see what Kiwi fabric I can find in these shops. It's surprising how much I have found in the last year. Even with the small selection of fabric, I still managed to walk out the door with a few meters of fabric.
More to come!
