Port Gibbon

106 km from Whyalla is a little town called Cowell, where you can go fishing or just go on the Oyster Dve and buy their award-winning oysters direct from the shed. We both 3 dozens NOT OPEN oysters. Graham was quite sure it's not hard to open fresh oysters but thank God he asked the guy in the oyster shed how to do it or we would be still seating at the front of them and crying. After a while he become quite an expert:)

 

 

 

Cowell's nephrite jade is recognised as the oldest and one of largest deposit in the world, with variety of colours and patterns not found elsewhere.  We had fun browsing through the showroom and picking some presents.

After than Lidia wanted to find out how a Quandong jam test like. They have a add saying that "you can enjoy a cuppa with hot scones and delicious homemade Quandong jam at Schultz's Quandong Farm". But what they forgot to mention is that is "you can enjoy a cuppa with your nanna". This old lady is running a Bed & Breakfast plus sells homemade jams from her home. She has a beautiful garden behind her house and make scones and jams in her little kitchen. Jams were great and we even both one Quandong jam and got one plum jam for free. Plus Graham got a recipe for homemade scones. So sweet.

 

 

We stopped at the Port Gibbon Foreshore free camping spot.  The beach was cover by seaweeds but there was a lot of "cool stuff" as well. We are not sure what are those colourful "balls" are but the other thing are spiral shaped shark egg cases.
