Arno Bay

Here we are at beautiful Arno Bay, the caravan park is right on the ocean front, nice little beach and a jetty. Seems to be plenty of fish and squid around as well. The park is very friendly and they have a few social nights as well. Wednesday is cheap snitzels at the pub, right across the road. Thursday nights is sausage sizzle night, complete with fish and crabs some nights. We were very lucky as the both weeks we were there we had crabs (no not that type!!) and snapper cooked on the BBQ as well as the snags. Sunday morning is Pancakes for breaky cooked by the owners Steve & Belinda bloody great,!! together with a Coffee. Yummy!
The Arno Burgers from the cafe just outside the park at the jetty were Huge!! I could'nt even eat a whole one. They come cut in half for a reason, they were around 9inches across and about 5inches high. You must try one if you visit this area.
There is a beautiful park and play ground just newly completed at the end of the jetty & and overall there is a very pleasant atmosphere. I would stongly advise you to book at this park as during the two weeks we were there they were literally queued up at the enterance awaiting people to leave.
We met some lovely people at the park including Studs and Adele, Rick and Jen and another couple that we will catch up with in Port Lincoln, Martin & Gail, great folks all of them.
I forgot to mention the board walk.
There is a fantastic board walk just up the road complete with fishing alcoves within the walk. We actually saw the fish in the water. The walks are also wheelchair friendly and the water is crystal clear.
We are moving on to Port Lincoln tomorrow and we will call the Port Lincoln Caravan Park at North Shields home for around 8 weeks. Fae is busy with her talks and we are catching up with friends we have not seen for a few years.
