We will be staying here a few days as it is a pretty spot with plenty to do.<\/p>\n<p>On the way we found a perfect &#8220;gem&#8221; of a spot really just by accident. There was a small sign on the side of the highway pointing to &#8220;a heritage jetty&#8221;. Mal loves jettys so we headed off the road to another almost deserted town with what is apparently the &#8220;longest timber jetty in Australia&#8221;.\u00a0 1.8kms. The town is called Port Germein and was stunning. Heaps of old stone buildings looking over the jetty and the Spencer Gulf. We could live there!!! I even found the house I loved&#8230;but not for sale! The main thing that keeps the locals busy is crab fishing (and farming). Port Germein is one of the reasons we bought a caravan. Just having the ability to find spots like this and pull up and stay, is the reason we are out here exploring.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_831\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-831\"
