Beachport
Beachport, nestled on the northwestern tip of Rivoli Bay. The first industry in the SE of South Australia was a whaling station. Hunting was initially carried out from small boats & the whales were towed back to shore station for processing. Whaling was a critically important industry in the successful colonistion of SA
Pool of Siloam (Salt lake). Beachport salt lake is almost 7 times saltier than the sea & the high salt concentration n the water makes swimming very easy, as the water is extremely buoyant. Unfortunately it was freezing cold when we visited, so NO SWIMS TODAY!!!!
