Friday 20th March - Kingston SE

A cool night last night going down to 14.8, but a pleasant cool day of 27.5

We decided to go for a drive around Kingston and saw Larry the Lobster. This sculpture of a spiny lobster was created in 1979 and stands over 17m tall. It is made of fibreglass and steel and took six months to construct. We also saw the Cape Jaffa Lighthouse. Due to COVID19 all National Trust buildings are closed, so we couldn't go in there. We also drove past Apex Park, which would be a great s[pot for a picnic lunch.

Kingston was settled in the early 1800's and has some beautiful old buildings. Outside each one is a detailed description and maybe they should have a walking / car trail map you can follow to see them. We decided on some fish and chips for lunch, so we went down to one at the end of the street, where the van park is. This shop is situated opposite the RV park where you can free camp for 48 hours. We had King George Whiting and it was delicious, as were the chips. Talk about fresh fish. This shop sells lobsters - yes, so while he was there he also bought me some lobster. Yummy. At $95.00 a kilo I'm going to enjoy it with some cheese sauce tomorrow night as I should get two meals from. Spoiling ourselves just a little. They have whole lobsters that would be over 2kg as well as lobster meat in trays.
