We chose to stay at the Moonta Bay Caravan Park on our travels to visit the Corny Point Lighthouse. This park was situated right on the beach front and our site was within a stones throw of the beach, jetty and shark proof sea pool (or so they said however there appeared to be a few holes around the perimeter). Although the amenities were average, they were clean but the relaxed feel of the park compensated. Sitting under the awning in the evening watching the sun set over the ocean was just what the Doctor ordered!
Every morning the tide would be right out and the waters were filled with people crabbing with their rakes. The evenings had the jetty full of fishermen and women, novice and experienced, catching crabs, squid and fish.
Danny had raked for crabs at Port Clinton but gave the crab nets a go and came back to the van with 6 good sized crabs. Okay, this is where the Internet comes in handy. Google 'how to cook lives crabs' - check, then google 'how to shell cooked crabs to remove the guts and feathers' - check and then make a mean crab dip and enjoy.
Best part of the night was the cooking of the final two crabs to find only one left in the bucket. That nifty little crab had smelt his brothers cooking and had clambered out of the bucket and had high-tailed it back to the water. Always respect someone with initiative!
