We had decided to go to the Lincoln National Park today and have a look around there. Before visiting the Tourist Information Centre to purchase our permit for the park we looked for somewhere to collect our morning coffee and decided to give Del Giorno a try. First of all we couldn't believe how busy it was on a Sunday morning and we checked out their menu before entering and thought we may call back tomorrow night for dinner. However, first things first, our coffee was good, and the service while not being over friendly wasn't too bad, we wouldn't let that turn us off though and speaking to people this seems to be the place to go to.
After purchasing our coffee and having a quick read we drove around the corner to the Visitor Information centre to o purchase our National Park permit. We had a few choices on parks to visit but decided to go to the closest one, maybe this wasn't the best decision we could make. We were looking for dramatic coastline but we didn't find it here. There are some pretty views and we have some great photos of the area but I think we both were hoping for something a bit more impressive. We have a 4WD thankfully because I wouldn't take a 2WD on some of the roads, not that there was much to see at the end anyway. We didn't think the signage was adequate and found it really hard to find the places we wanted to visit. We had a pleasant day thought stopping for a picnic lunch on the way.
We drove back to town and Robb wanted to look around the marina so we drove directly there. It is a very pretty area and there are lots of new estates going up at the moment, lots on the water with their own private moorings out the front. Apparently after talking to the staff at the information centre there are quite a lot of retirees moving down here. Per capita Port Lincoln have the largest number of millionaires in Australia but they only have a population of 14,000 so the number itself may not be huge. From here we drove back to our park and down to check out the jetty in case Robb wants to go fishing here tomorrow. We spoke to a couple of people fishing down here and they are not having much luck. I think we may just buy some fish tomorrow because you cannot be in the fishing capital of the Southern Hemisphere and not eat seafood.
