8th Week - Thursday - Dover

Still drizzling this morning but by the time we had breakfast and made lunch the sun was peaking out so off we set.  We headed for Ida Bay where there is a steam engine train ride.  Seeing as we had only just done the train trip in Queenstown elected not to do this one.  The only town further south is Cockle Bay.  We have no idea if there is anything there or just fishing shacks we so decided not to drive down the muddy dirt road.  We could have gone to Hasting Caves and did a tour of the caves but again chose not to do that one.  Next stop was Southport which boasts the southern most pub of Australia.  The pub and a caravan park is about all there is apart from the fishing shacks lining the coast.  Still the Bay was very pretty with its white sandy beach.  There wasn't much else to see so back to the van for a quiet afternoon.  If the weather stays fine we may go and drop a line in off a jetty.
