So the Red Elephants where meet by Emu's at Coffin Bay on our arrival. There are 3 in the park including a mum with her 6 stripey babies. The junior Red Elephants found out that Emu's are fast runners, when they got to close and Mr Emu thought they where playing a game of chasey.
Coffin Bay National park is Spectacular. Think coastal scrubby bush followed by a moonscape of white sand dunes and beautiful sea green ocean. The great Southern Ocean to be precise. Out there in the ocean we could spot islands and land. Steep white cliffs also lead down the the ocean that sparkled like a jewel in the sun. Also in the National Park we spotted our friends the Emu's , Lizards, Sea Eagles and little Wallabies. A pleasant afternoon was spent exploring Coffin Bay National Park. The only thing that would make it better is a pod of dolphins or a whale or two. We wizzed home for afternoon tea and a play in the playground then returned to watch the sun set over the ocean and bounce its last beams of the white cliffs. Mr Red Elephant is a bit partial to a sunset
The last couple of days we have heard people talking about bad weather coming and a storm. It turns out that here are here for a special event that South Australia only gets every 5o years or so. Severe storms with gale force winds, rain, hail, cold you name it. Some campers are trying to outrun the storm. We have decided to batten down the hatches and wait it out. So far it is not so bad. So what do Red Elephants do on a stormy day in a small village. Well its too wet to go out so we do our homework, play uno and yahtzee, play games on our devices, write blogs, make muffins, watch dvd's and do a little reading and crochet. Hopefully we will survive the night. Checking the latest weather warning on the Bureau of Meteorology, I think we will be OK. I hope you are safe and dry wherever you may be.
